How cool is that?!
Unless you've been living under a HUGE rock you should know by now what
GAIA is. Either that or you are not a Flash dev so here it goes anyway: GAIA is a Flash framework that is meant to greatly speed up your development workflow. It automatically gives you scaffolding, SWFAddress, SWFObject, transitions between pages, etc. And as with any other frameworks, it makes bringing new people to the team much more easier because it's known and documented. The problem for Linux peeps was that it requires the Flash IDE. Well, not any more!
Lee McColl (one of the guys behind the
haXe book) has ported it to haXe. This is just version 0.1 and there're still some wrinkles here and there, so some more testing is required. Read the
announce on the mailing list for more info.
This is another great addition to haXe after PHP and soon-to-be-released C++ backends. Whatever your dev background is, I think haXe is well worth looking at, you can start by the brand new
haXe introduction.
