Haxe is a high-level cross-platform programming language and compiler that can produce applications and source code for many different computing platforms from one code-base.
This Haxe review highlights major updates to the Haxe programming language, plus experimental compiler features and improvements to the Haxe developer experience. It explores web development with Haxe, the question of whether Haxe game…
Which framework can be used to develop cross-platform applications?There are several cross-platform frameworks like React Native and Xamarin, but Haxe can be used to develop applications for multiple platforms from a single codebase with or without a framework. React Native in particular has Haxe externs available, meaning it’s possible to develop for it using Haxe.Which programming language is the best for cross-platform development?While Java is often the first language discussed in a cross-platform context, Haxe has an even wider set of targets: It’s able to transpile to Java, but also C#, C++, JavaScript, PHP, and several others. Since Haxe has managed to keep so many targets while polishing its usability, it’s a definite contender here.Which programming language is best for games?Game development spans a huge spectrum, so the best programming language for games depends on both the programmer and the project. The case for Haxe is that it offers a uniquely refined language while being able to simultaneously target Win/Mac/Linux, iOS/Android, HTML5, and console systems from a single codebase.
