Hi everybody,
just found this this morning: https://github.com/ncsoft/Unreal.js

Basically if I understand well, it means you can access the whole Unreal
API from javascript.
There's even a sample 2048 app here:
https://github.com/ncsoft/Unreal.js/tree/master/Examples/Content/Scripts/2048
wiki: https://github.com/ncsoft/Unreal.js/wiki

Obviously from a Haxe point of view, I find it pretty cool :)

Well, I have not tried but wouldn't it be better to access Unreal API from Haxe/CPP? On the other hand I guess js API might be easier to expose to Haxe, if that's not been done yet.

Javascript will certainly feel more straightforward to a lot of people.
Now are there some performance bottlenecks? Well, I don't know. I am not a UE specialist. I only use the engine for small side experiments.
But I like the fact that we can build a UI using jade templates and implement the core logic in js through haxe/scala/typescript/etc... Because logic does not always need c++ and blueprints are sometimes not the fastest way to go.
