developping GUI apps with neko ?

[mark prades]

I know i can compile Haxe to C++ , but i wonder is there some GUI libs with Neko bindings or something ?
I'd like to kind of replace Adobe Air/Flash for some desktop projects . Is it mandatory to compile to C++ ? or is there other solutions ?
thanks.

I'm pretty sure it's possible worth NME, see this forum post from Joshua:

> You can still use Neko by adding "-neko" when compiling an NME application for the desktop. However, by default NME will use the C++ target, since it runs faster, but Neko can be a nice target for testing since it compiles instantly, and with a little more experimentation, it could be used to perform cross-platform builds (like Windows from a Mac)

Thanks , i'll try NME then , did anybody developped projects with NME and Neko ?

I'd be interested in how did they acheive successfull apps , the problems they faced ,etc ...

I think nme with neko is more useful to test your app fast rather than building the final product.

This page contains a list of lots of GUI libs for Haxe... 

http://haxe.org/doc/libraries?lang=en#gui-toolkits

Note that StableXUI and Yahui from the list seem to have gotten alot of attention:

https://github.com/RealyUniqueName/StablexUI

https://github.com/ianharrigan/haxeui

Both build to cross platform and are skinnable....

Thanks for the link list , that's great , plenty of great projects.

As for the use of neko , i thought i could just use the same neko app on multiple plateforms that support the neko vm , and just tell people or clients to install neko.

But it seems it is more complicated than that.

Is a performance issue a stability issue ? if it is just perfs , it's ok to get started with.

Regards.

I've been creating desktop utility apps using neko, and it works very well.
No performance issues at all for normal use. If you are doing heavy math calculation, you should go for c++ of course.
I've been using Waxe before, but for similar situations now I would definitely go for Haxeui or Stablex.
