Haxe to Go Compiler

Why GoLang

• Great Performance vs GC Balance
• Great Solid Tooling
• Faster compilation then CPP
• Truly cross platform (win, lin, bsd, wasm, avr, ++)
• Bunch of backend libraries
• Together with go2hx, we could work with both together.
• Static binaries easy portable between distributions as long as the hardware match

Why Haxe+Golang > Golang (in other words - why haxe!=0 even in presence of Golang)

• Real generics (Array methods)
• String interpolation
• Everything is an expression
• Static extensions
• Real Dynamics (when needed)
• Pattern Matching
• We all know EcmaScript (torough JavaScript).
• Slim client side code sharing (vs gopher/wasm).

Idea

Based on ideas (and code) from luaxe

OOP concepts in golang

hx2go

Almost like Javascript, Plus some static typing/structs for simple objects to speed it up forther gozilla

Using vendor folder, as a hack to bypass golangs per pc software repos

discussion links

go2hx work in progress post

(how to make the haxe compiler emit a separate type for each generic post])https://community.haxe.org/t/how-to-make-the-haxe-compiler-emit-a-separate-type-for-each-generic/3889)

Roadmap

OOP

• ClassMaker class (could be modified later for other languages , nim, pascal)
• inheritance

stdlib

• boot.go increment and decrement.
• boot.go for basic functions (trace) [ ] implement sys
• Dynamic
• Json

Language elements

• try/catch

Compiler

• change to reflaxe
• gettype function support generics
• clean up GoPrinter.hx

Support

Currently I am working on it only early morning, and late nights (usualy after going over the manual process of converting a project from rich haxe to poor golang), I wish I could work on it more time, if you wish too you may consider a pull request or sponsor some time. paypal donate
