  • b
    me thinks HL has more priority
  • b
    and more benefit for the community overall
  • p
    Probably. With Apple switching to Aarch64, and Aarch64 Linux phones/laptops, many more people will want HL/JIT to work on Aarch64. (Or even so that one could use HL/JIT + hot reload on Android for a smoother workflow)
  • b
    out of interest, what sort of amount would you be looking for something like jvm -> haxe, and what would be DoD?
  • p
    DoD?
  • b
    definition of done
  • p
    Definition of done... can transpile your average java library and have it work out of the box in your haxe app?
  • b
    hmm ... executing the java test suite
  • b
    whats an "average java lib" though?
  • p
    I have no idea, I barely use Java.
  • b
    i use it alot, but huge java libs, that im guessing would no way be in scope
  • b
    You should say you'll do it if someone pays a bounty, i'm sure there would be people willing to pay you for it
  • b
    i wonder if something like xerces / xalan / saxon would be good targets... no real use (as such) but are pretty big libraries
  • b
    xalan may be useful to people to be fair... dunno
  • b
    id put in for it, being able to convert java libs to haxe seems pretty powerful, but it just seems like a massive amount of work (maybe im mistaken)
  • p
    It depends on how much of the Java std has to be ported, and how much can be directly transpiled.
  • b
    Oh, i was talking about the arm stuff, but that too I guess x)
  • b
    maybe one could leverage on the graalvm framework, which is already polyglot
  • p
    Ah right, that's also an option.
  • b
    heh heh, maybe arm is more directly important / useful though
  • p
    Not sure how useful it would be though, I don't know how much of it could be reused for JVM -> Haxe.
  • b
    graalvm can output ecmascript code to be run on nodejs
  • b
    iirc ... in the end there is LLVM involved
  • p
    Personally I wouldn't pull something as large as Graal, let alone LLVM.
  • b
    it was fun to talk about it tho
  • p
    Hmm, Graal can consume JS but not emit it. Only JIT or NativeImage stuff.
  • b
    oh , forgot that it has its own nodejs runtime
  • b
    Would there be any point to a haxeui port of a GUI framework that already has a XMLish design language
  • b
    because you wanted to use it in haxe i guess?
  • b
    what framework are you talking about out of interest?
