Question to community: old.haxe content

[Mark Knol]

Hi all,

Ive spend some time to port content from http://old.haxe.org to the new manual at http://haxe.org/manual. The goal is to deprecate this old thing :) I was wondering which pages you still use as reference and what is missing in the new manual.

Btw, if you like to help getting this job done, let me know.

Thanks for your input!

Mark

I can send you a report that shows which pages are being looked at how
often and how long.

[Mark Knol]

Hey thats a great idea! Please do :)

Thanks for your input. SPOD is ported but will most likely not end in the manual, also Dispatch is under discussion.

Btw any idea why we continue to use SPOD (that I've never heard of elsewhere) instead of ORM like the rest of the world?

Unless there is a subtle difference that I'm not aware of.

What's changing with dispatch?

Isn’t SPOD an actual ORM?

[Justin L Mills]

SPOD = Simple Persistent Objects Database Library

From what I have read I would describe SPOD as typesafe ORM and SQL access with Macro compile time goodness.

Let just say the rest of the world has ORM, and Haxe has typed "S"pecial ORM in any flavour you want.

http://old.haxe.org/doc/neko/spod

[Benjamin Dubois]

Sorry I was only talking about the name "SPOD" instaed of what they are.

SPOD are typed because Haxe is. ORM from other typed languages are typed too.

My point is that :
https://www.google.fr/search?q=haxe+ORM
http://haxe.org/search?s=ORM

> Someone new to Haxe looking for an ORM would not find it unless digging into old.haxe.org

[François Barbut]

Benjamin is right, it's very difficult for a newbie to know that SPOD is haxe's ORM.

BTW the name "SPOD" is no more mentionned on haxe.org, the official name is now 'sys.db.Object' !

the name "SPOD" is only mentionned in the old haxe website ...

Mark, what about porting the SPOD page to the new website and entitle it "sys.db.Object : the haxe ORM" ?

Yes having "haxe magic" doc ported would be great.

Also I think we should promote a little more the "untyped" keyword.

From time to time I've heard the excuse for not using Haxe, that some feature is not available.

For instance, in the place I work, Haxe was dropped for iOS and Java just because it couldn't handle the camera.

(correct me if I'm wrong) Having some untyped calls encapsulated in camera related functions would have save Haxe case.

I found no information on operators and precedence (or priority) in the new manual. In the old it is at http://old.haxe.org/manual/operators/

On a picky note, for me "precedence" and "priority" are the same thing.  The old page uses the word "precedence" opposite to what I'm used to.  See http://en.cppreference.com/w/c/language/operator_precedence and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Order_of_operations for examples of the usage I'm used to.  (Maybe drop the word "precedence" and stick with "priority".)

Hi, thanks for the efforts.. It seems almost all Google Haxe CFFI links point to the old site right now:  http://old.haxe.org/doc/cpp/ffi

I think it's in ordered by precedence (the previous operator being used before the next in the list), maybe that should be mentioned

It isn't. Also it is not a complete list of operators. For example, it leaves out && and || as it should since they are not numeric.

Then I suggest you open an issue on GitHub.
