Haxe Support

[darmie]

Any hope of creating a Haxe frontend for Waxeye?

Haxe is a cross-platform​ toolkit that compiles to many popular languages. If Waxeye can generate a parser in Haxe programming language, this would be a big bonus.

Hi,

Yes, there's certainly hope. The Haxe API could follow the Java API pretty closely, and the parser internals and code generation would also be similar to the new JavaScript and in-progress Java versions.

It will need a few volunteers, though, since I'm not in the position to do the coding myself. Someone needs to write the code, and then once one or two others have checked things via a code-review and regression tests, then I'll be happy to merge it.

I already made attempts to port the Javascript version, I think I would be able to port the Java version to haxe with your assistance.
