04/19/2022, 8:52 AMthats a pretty good point - much easier to higher ts devs (and probably for less) - p

04/19/2022, 8:52 AMyeah, i guess things like this could pose issues - ive have no idea how would would print - b

04/19/2022, 8:53 AMI don't want to build electron 😠😠- r

04/19/2022, 8:53 AMYeah this is true, I was really surprised when I tried to build my Webcam based app that I'd developed on flash for c++ target and... No c++ support for Webcam - b

04/19/2022, 8:53 AMhttps://api.openfl.org/openfl/printing/index.html no idea if its any good... never even knew it existed - b
best-agent-85158
04/19/2022, 8:54 AMWait wtf that exists? Well now I just need to find a printer from my app and send it the data - b
best-agent-85158
04/19/2022, 8:54 AMAlso hard - b
bright-gpu-74537
04/19/2022, 8:55 AMwell, it seems to exist, but i have zero idea if it actually works (or works well) - p
powerful-morning-89
04/19/2022, 8:55 AMThat only works on (browser) JS. - b
bright-gpu-74537
04/19/2022, 8:55 AMyeah, there is a very DIY feel to haxe, maybe that is another turn off - b
bright-gpu-74537
04/19/2022, 8:55 AMoh - b

04/19/2022, 8:56 AMHaxe could have been great, but it dug a hole for itself by not pulling together. - r
refined-greece-48002
04/19/2022, 8:56 AMThe other thing is that there's a lot of friction for beginners because a lot of the time, if you follow the getting started instructions, things just don't work - r
refined-greece-48002
04/19/2022, 8:56 AMDue to haxelibs being out of date etc - b

04/19/2022, 8:56 AMCompanies are generally wary of things that are maintained by a single person. Which is true for basically everything good in Haxe. - b
bright-gpu-74537
04/19/2022, 8:57 AMcan you expand on that? - b
best-agent-85158
04/19/2022, 8:57 AMFrom where di u know? Didn't find that on the page - b
bright-gpu-74537
04/19/2022, 8:57 AMalso, yeah, pretty valid... - b
brainy-machine-50829
04/19/2022, 8:57 AMInstead of HashLink and HxCpp and NME and OpenFL and Lime, there should be been just one of those for each use. - b
bright-gpu-74537
04/19/2022, 8:57 AMi think that documentation looks just copied from as3 - b
bright-gpu-74537
04/19/2022, 8:57 AMso its probably not accurate - b
best-agent-85158
04/19/2022, 8:57 AMIt is - p
powerful-morning-89
04/19/2022, 8:57 AMThe page has a convenient View Source button. - b
bright-gpu-74537
04/19/2022, 8:58 AMoh yeah - js / html5 - b
bright-gpu-74537
04/19/2022, 8:59 AMi think i agree with nme / openfl, that defo seems like unrequired fracturing. But hashlink and hxcpp seem like quite different beasts - p
powerful-morning-89
04/19/2022, 9:01 AMHashlink and HL/C. Cppia and hxcpp. - p
powerful-morning-89
04/19/2022, 9:01 AMNot that different. - b
