No, you did not build an AI. You just vibe-coded a glorified frontend around someone else's AI.


You may have created a nice frontend for an AI. You did not create an AI as claimed.


You could also write your app in Haxe instead and cross compile to Javascript, Python, C++, Java, Lua,...


It's so good to see Haxe mentioned!

I ported an entire AS3/Flash game to Haxe that my friends had written during our college years, as a kind of "thank you" present for ten years of friendship (adding mobile, cross-platform, gamepad controller, netplay and other things).

While the tooling was spotty, I found the experience wonderful! Haxe felt like a decent language with laudable goals and a nice community.

I hope one day I find another reason to work with Haxe.

Does anyone have any project that is using Haxe in production? Would love to hear about such stories!!


Not my project but there's always Dead Cells and the stories behind its developed.


This seems to be intended as an interesting experiment (in the same genre as things like quines). There are obviously more production-ready ways to compile code for multiple runtimes.


Haxe is not just an experiment. It is a mature language and ecosystem used in production. You will find it powering many games for example.

I used it a long long time ago on one of my first freelance gigs (with a PHP target). It was already quite solid and saved me the need to use a PHP framework.

I also remember using it as a typed javascript pre-compiler, at a time where FB Flow and MS Typescript were still fighting over developer mindshare. I would probably still use it if TS didn't take over the ecosystem entirely.

"This" = Polycompiler (the OP project), not Haxe. Polycompiler appears to be intended as a toy/experiment, so it doesn't really make sense to compare it to Haxe.



To what extent does Haxe still align with modern Javascript? Is modern javascript even considered to be the basis of actionscript anymore?


Before AI, I was googling and stackoverflowing the sh_t out of the internet because of subpar/absent/outdated documentation or obscure APIs of a lot of OSS libraries/frameworks. Now I am priming the sh_t out of AI prompts for the same stuff. I don't see much difference, except now I get results faster and more to the point.


The difference is that there's nobody there to fact-check the bullshit that your LLM spews.


Compilers, linters, test frameworks, Benchmarks, CIs do the fact checking.


Not even myself?


Do you, though?


The Eclipse Foundation has been experiencing a significant infrastructure outage since April 21, 2025, affecting several core services. While the main website (eclipse.org) remains operational, key components such as the account management system (accounts.eclipse.org), and download servers have been impacted. The root cause has been identified as a storage-related issue, leading to disruptions in authentication and access to Eclipse-hosted tools and services.

As of April 24, 2025, there has been no detailed public explanation or estimated time for full recovery.


I encourage you and everyone else interested to attend a Holotropic Breathwork session to truly grasp the profound impact your breath can have on your mind. This is nothing like your regular five-minute yoga breathing exercise, boxed breathing, or even the Wim Hof breathing. It's a completely different level. These sessions typically last 3 to 5 hours and take place in a safe, supportive setting with a dedicated sitter and experienced facilitators.

And please don’t try this stuff alone at home.


In a hundred years Netherlands is probably underwater.


I have one of those https://www.eye-power.co.uk/

While I like the sensation using it I don't feel any noticeable effect.


How old are you? What drove you to buy these?


You can e. g. create ARM builds on x86 using qemu but the compilation takes ages.


Doesn't mean anything. Facebook used to support XMPP.


Supporting is on thing, being build on top of it is another thing. And on top of that, AFAIK on bluesky there is no "algorithm"
