Re: [osflash] [ANN] Aptana IDE for AFLAX...

[hank williams]

One issue about aptana supporting haxe is that nicolas has not provided a parser for IDE developers to be able to find errors in an eclipse like way, meaning that the compiler only finds one error at a time, and, AFAIK there is no standalone parser available. This, as I understand it is the stumbling block with hxdt. They are waiting for a new version of that parser building tool (whose name I forget). Nicolas, this might be a good area where your intimate knowledge of the language could produce a solution that could be leveraged by many IDE developers. Right now, I suspect the task might be too hard to do well. Of course it could be done without any of the IDE error detection niceties, but that is what something like Aptana is all about.

Hi Paul,

Why I like the general idea of AFLAX, I still have some concerns about
it. In particular, for people used to ActionScript2, having to "go back"
to a dynamicly typed language such as _javascript_ is surely a big problem.

Have you considered supporting haXe ? That would enable AFLAX users to
develop using a powerful highlevel language, which is not so much
different from AS2 or Java so quite easy to learn anyway.

Best,
Nicolas
