Haxe developers on other platforms may want to look at KodeStudio[1], a fork of Visual Studio Code for Haxe development.

Focuses mostly on Kha, but general Haxe editing and IDE features are planned as well.

Was about to ask why it needs to be a fork and saw your link answers that question, thanks. I'm not sure what Kha is though is my only other question, might want to add a (quick) description for others who may not know as well. I'm guessing it's some sort of game development framework though?

I remember convincing my teacher to let me use haxe instead of flash for a multimedia course. It went pretty well (Got an A) and it allowed me to use vim (with the vaxe plugin)

Heres the game: https://github.com/Superpat/haxefighting-game

Awesome! I wrote the vaxe plugin, glad to hear it was useful.

Vaxe has some new long term plans. I wanted to improve it, but couldn't move forward with viml, or python. Instead, I'm working on a new lua target for Haxe, and will focus on lua support for vim/neovim in the near future.

If you're interested in Haxe you might check Quaxe [1]. It's still a work in progress but basically all UI specified in html5, styled in CSS and compiled to native.

HaxeUI's upcoming Version 2 is pretty cool as well, and is in active development:

http://haxeui.org/v2/

It'll allow for multiple backends, one of which is wxWidgets, which allows native widgets on all supported targets. Very nice if you don't want to be married to a particular framework.

The project seems dead to me. Is there at least a GH repo or something so we can see the code?
[+] aardshark|10 years ago|reply
That's super cool, thanks for the link.
[+] luchadorvader|10 years ago|reply
this looks really cool but have there been any recent updates or is the source code anywhere I can look at?

This is a custom distribution of FlashDevelop, which I loved working with when I had a PC. I still prefer working on a Unix-like OS, but I would recommend this to anyone developing on Windows!
[+] tluyben2|10 years ago|reply
I hoped they had written this in Haxe itself but it is Flashdevelop written in c#?
[+] giancarlostoro|10 years ago|reply
I think both projects are forks of MonoDevelop.

This is nice, but for me it's never going to be a good option since it doesn't have any native Linux support...
[+] Mikeb85|10 years ago|reply
Thankfully there is Vim w/ Vaxe, and a decent Atom plugin as well.

In this day and age it seems so strange that it isn't a cross platform project.
[+] chipsy|10 years ago|reply
It's a rebrand of Flashdevelop (with cruft stripped out). We're still waiting for the ultimate Haxe IDE-in-Haxe...

It's been awhile since I saw .NET 3.5 Windows Forms application featured on HN. Interesting decision considering the fact that .NET 3.5 is EOL-ed in 2011. They're probably targeting people using Win7.

This was a nice trip down memory lane, first to FlashDevelop and then to FDT (which is what my team always used to use) - it's actually rather nice to see that both are still being actively developed.

IntelliJ IDEA Community Edition has a decent Haxe plugin.

Ok, we added Windows to the title.

What's wrong with pointing people towards wine, if you support them doing that?
