My understanding is that battery capacity is the issue; it's usually above the max allowed on the plane. This company makes a snap-together battery https://ebikes.ca/product-info/grin-products/ligo10x-battery.

Happy thinkpenguin customer here. In the old days I researched hardware for GNU/Linux compat; now I just buy a system from them and everything just works.

> It's nice that most of Janes the literals match Clojure Two things: * Janet doesn't have a built-in set data structure literal. Need to use a library for that. * Janet has mutable and immutable versions of arrays and hashmaps

I think it's partly due to: people like regular garden-variety arrays and hashmaps, and don't want to use car, cdr, cons. I like my array and hashmap literals.

The "pen display" is the type where it's a monitor with the transparent trackpad overlaid on it. That, I think, is what you want. I tried the other type, where you write on the tablet but you look at the screen elsewhere, and

How are your math skills? Do you know any calculus? Are you interested in learning more math to go with the physics?

Janet is small, simple, efficient, and practical. For me it has nice syntax and sensible semantics. Great little package manager too. Very happy with and excited about Janet so far.

Pandoc lets you write in Markdown but also include mathematics in LaTeX. For me this is a nice combination.

Would be nice if that tiny image on the top left of the homepage were clickable so I could see the screenshot full-size.

Well, it also has its very own [Hashlink, virtual machine]( https://hashlink.haxe.org/ ). And it can also compile down to various bytecodes (like JVM), not just to other languages.

Sounds like you'd like Haxe.

I'm not sure there's a catch, so much as there's just a number of comparable but corporate-backed alternatives that are seeing some popularity right now: * TypeScript (Microsoft) * Dart (Google) * Kotlin (JetBrains, with Goog

Haxe plus OpenFL or HaxeFlixel?

by uvtc 7y ago
I believe with Haxe you can use OpenFL to get what you're looking for. FWIU, that provides a nice migration path from Flash.

If cross-compilation is important to you, and you like Nim's level of abstraction, you might have a look at Haxe, which can compile to [ lots of different targets]( https://haxe.org/documentation/introduction/

If you want Lua under the hood, but a more industrial-strength language on top, you might have a look at Haxe. It can compile to Lua (among other languages/platforms). https://haxe.org/manual/target-lua-getting-sta

> Haxe feels much more promising than most alternatives. If I do web stuff again I'll be diving in here. There is some good library support. I am a little concerned by its relative youth, will it last? Haxe has actually been around

There are many nice modern languages that compile to JavaScript. Personally, I like [Haxe]( https://haxe.org/ ), which compiles to many other target platforms/languages as well. Here's a [comparison of Haxe and Type

Given that GitLab/GitHub/etc (and, often, online package repositories) automatically display markdown files as rendered html, a directory of markdown files is a fine way to document your project. The docs can, at any point, option

> I think the one downside of Haxe (which is also is strength) is that it doesn’t only support compiling to C/C++, but to every major language possible (Java, C#, PHP, Javascript), so the language ends up being too complex. I don&#x

If you're already using JavaScript for the web, I think there's three main options for that domain: * stick with JS, * learn a language that's a superset of JS (like TypeScript), or * learn another language which compiles to

Nim appears to be quite similar to Haxe, though Haxe compiles to numerous additional targets. Aside from that, and the syntax, what are the main differences between Nim and Haxe?
