Haxe Programming Language

Name: Anonymous 2014-05-19 1:26

http://haxe.org/
A javascript-like syntax that compiles to Sepples, Java, Javascript, C#, PHP, and a bunch of adobe shit, and all the important mobile platforms (and several dead ones)!

I have to admit, I'm intrigued by this. I'll see what I can do about cramming Common Lisp as a target platform in there. Imperative code translated by machine to functional rarely ends well though. Or maybe ditch the parser for a scheme dialect and take over the world by having all my awesome fibs programs run on everything from Windows to PalmOS natively.

Back to Hacker News with your Javashit.

Because if it ain't static typing, it's javashit, right?

Dynamic typing sets the stage for a poor language, and encourages continued poor decisions further down the line.

If static typing is silver bullet, why do we have unit testing frameworks, like HUnit for example?

Yes.

Dynamic typing is a degenerate case of static typing. A "dynamically typed language" is simply a language whose designers were too lame or stupid to implement a proper type system.

Fuck off.

I didn't say that static typing was a silver bullet: I didn't say anything about it all. I said that dynamic typing is bad and encourages sloppiness, and implied that it was a poor design choice.

Shitty static typing is also bad. Just look at Sepples. And not that many languages out there have a decent type system.

Static typing is a premature optimization. If your language isn't dynamically typed by default, you've already chopped your balls off and died before you even touched the keyboard.

What type system could replace static and dynamic?

Dynamic is a trivial case of static.
There cannot be anything but static, too. That's because types are a mathematical concept that has nothing to do with computation and has been explored long before the first computers. Thus types are "static" i.e. have nothing to do with the runtime of a computer program.

Programming language is a trivial case of Scheme.
There cannot be anything but Scheme, too. That's because Scheme is a computational concept that has all to do with computation and has been explored long before the first physical computers. Thus programming languages are "Scheme" i.e. have all to do with the runtime of a computer program.

No, Scheme was created in the 70s and is predated by a lot of Lisps that were used to program computers. The rest of your post is a bunch of rubbish.

Does it compile to android?
If so I might take a look into it.
