Would Haxe work for creating libraries?

Question

I was thinking of using Haxe for it\'s cross-language ability, but wasn\'t sure if it was the best for this task. I\'m going to write a generic library that should be able t

Answer 1

Haxe isn't designed for writing cross-language libraries, although it can be done and I've seen a few examples that it works:

• polygonal, a data structure and physics engine usable in Haxe and AS3.
• verb, a NURBS-based CAD Library that is usable in Haxe and JS.
• daff, a library for comparing tables, usable in JS, Python, Java, C#, C++, Ruby, and PHP.

However, for C++ specifically, since hxcpp generates a lot of Haxe specific stuff, including GC, it may need plenty of cleanup or it is non-trivial to use. You may ask in the Haxe mailing list.
