No problem, I am not very fair actually :) Flex was epic fail since the beginning. How would you name a framework you don't believe in ?
I stand corrected with Nicolas and am deeply sorry to have skipped all the people names behind 'nowadays HaXe' Adobe ? They are a bunch of cool business people that were doing Photoshop, the only photo application that won't respect colors ;) Afterwards, it is all downhill ... business is about rentability/profitability, business is about hatching the right tree and when the forest is endless it looks like you could hatch any tree and get the big results. That isn't right. Adobe is morphing into a PR company, servicing the other technological companies, but in a deep and dense SM way :) > Hey cedric :) > > haxe used to be a one man effort. there are quite a few people on the > compiler team now, then there are others that develop and maintain the > different targets. so it's not fair to say it's a one man show, although it > is fair to say that nicholas created something very very impressive indeed. > > it is worrying what adobe have done recently, fortunately i never bought > into flex that much! if i had i'd be very pissed off at the moment. > > 2011/12/1 Cédric Muller <flashco...@benga.li> > >> :) >> >> What if we acknowledge the fact that HaXe is a one man efforts.
