04/24/2022, 5:43 PMDepends on how much of the Java "std" the libraries use. A JVM bytecode -> Haxe compiler wouldn't be excessively hard imo. Hmm jvm2hx sounds like a fun project. go2hx needs some competition... /s - b

04/24/2022, 5:44 PMJNA, which is its own kind of beast - b
bright-gpu-74537
04/24/2022, 5:44 PMso it would take compiled jars and spit out haxe code? I mean, conceptually - p
powerful-morning-89
04/24/2022, 5:44 PMYeah. - b

04/24/2022, 5:44 PMdefo sounds pretty cool... especially considering if it were to work there are a HUGE amount of java libs - p
powerful-morning-89
04/24/2022, 5:45 PMJvm bytecode still contains classes and interfaces etc, so it would probably map relatively well to Haxe. - b
bright-gpu-74537
04/24/2022, 5:45 PMyeah, i dont think there is a constuct in java that doesnt map to haxe - b
bright-gpu-74537
04/24/2022, 5:45 PMoverloads maybe? - b
best-needle-18998
04/24/2022, 5:45 PMhmmm ... bytecode to haxe would be a thing - p
powerful-morning-89
04/24/2022, 5:46 PMHaxe has overloads now. (
on most targets though).extern inline overload - b

but i doubt that matters that muchprotected - b
best-needle-18998
04/24/2022, 5:46 PMit would also be a huge benefit for jdbc ... making all pure java database drivers immediatly available under haxe and its targets - b
bright-gpu-74537
04/24/2022, 5:46 PMwell, actually, haxe has no
(in java terms)private - p
powerful-morning-89
04/24/2022, 5:47 PMIs that really a problem? Imo no. - b
bright-gpu-74537
04/24/2022, 5:47 PMyeah, defo very cool idea, i just wonder if its not an absolutely monumental chunk of work - b
bright-gpu-74537
04/24/2022, 5:47 PMi very much doubt it would be an issue - b
big-angle-82801
04/24/2022, 5:48 PMpotentially if there is a private member variable clash it could be, couldn't it? - b
bright-gpu-74537
04/24/2022, 5:49 PMdoes that happen? I mean, two private vars with the same name? Is java actually ok with that? Because it seems like it shouldnt be - b
best-needle-18998
04/24/2022, 5:49 PMyes it is - b

04/24/2022, 5:50 PMThe transpiler could do some renaming. I'm not saying the generated code would be nice or human-readable 🙂 - b
bright-gpu-74537
04/24/2022, 5:50 PMi dont think it would need to be human readable - b

04/24/2022, 5:50 PMhxcpp barely is 🙂 - p
powerful-morning-89
04/24/2022, 5:51 PMHxcpp is messy, and I only understand half of how it works. - b
big-angle-82801
04/24/2022, 5:51 PMI mean, that's the point of making it private, so that for child classes it's like it doesn't exist at all. (idk if it happens in practice, but i guess in really large inheritance trees it could) - b
bright-gpu-74537
04/24/2022, 5:52 PMyeah, i guess, ive never come across it... or maybe i have but my vars that clash, clash with some private member var 😮 - b
bright-gpu-74537
04/24/2022, 5:52 PMso, Zeta, have you volunteered for jvm -> haxe? 😄 - p
powerful-morning-89
04/24/2022, 5:54 PMMaybe, but I do bunch a lot of other projects that I'd like to finish someday. So the question is: who'll pay me more? Terefang for Java -> Haxe or R.c for Aarch64 HL/JIT? 🙂 - b

04/24/2022, 5:55 PMheh heh, i loves me a good bidding war 😄
