I was afraid you would start asking in-depth questions ;) Now I will have to go and try out the Haxe js output :P.
Before I do that, let's make a general remark (and again, this is a thought, no facts.). Principally I do not like the idea to code with an 'extra' in-between language like haxe and afterwards have that compiled to regular javascript. Although coding strictly does have it's advantages I'm sure, it just doesn't feel comfortable for me personally. To make it even more complicated, if I see lot's of people using haxe and using it in live situations, I will have no problems using it as well. But until that day comes (at least in my surroundings) It feels like adding too much of a hassle to the simplicity of js. Why learn the specific haxe syntax if all the libraries and people around you are still coding regular js? I realize that by me not having seen haxe work before, you can't put much of a value on my opinion, but if I get the chance soon to try it out, I will and let you know if my hunches are still standing or that I'm never going to use anything else then haxe again :) That said, I do like the fact that we now have the possiblity of using this new Ide which can do things with JS I haven't seen before. So I'm gonna have a quick look at that first :) Cheers, Ben -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Nicolas Cannasse Sent: dinsdag 25 juli 2006 13:39 To: Open Source Flash Mailing List Subject: Re: [osflash] [ANN] Aptana IDE for AFLAX... > I for one am having problems with > coming to terms with the whole 'javascript being kind of compiled' > thingie.

Did you have a look at the haXe JS output ? It looks like really clear written JS code. It's even correctly indented :) I'm not sure what exactly you mean by "loosing control", and which additional control you would like to have on the JS source, but maybe you could give me some more infos ?
