go2hx

Compiling Go libraries & code into Haxe

Targets: Js, Lua, C#, C++, Java, C, Python

Plug and play support for Haxe & Go.
Human-like small generated output.
Leverage Haxe libraries from Go (coming soon)

warning: heavily experimental still a ways to go before an alpha

Download lix with npm: npm install lix -g
Installing go2hx: lix install https://github.com/go2hx/go2hx --global
Building: lix run go2hx ./main.go or lix run go2hx github.com/tidwall/btree

Aknowledgement

A spiritual successor to Tardisgo written by Elliott Stoneham, The developer that has set the building blocks conceptually for this project, as well as a code contributor, with use of some of his code from Tardisgo.

Code Overview

The packages are generated by arguments and flags, and exported out from the Go side by json.
The Haxe side then reads the exported data and begins typing up the data into TypeDefinitions, Fields, and Exprs.
The types are generated into Haxe files.
The generated code uses the stdgo package, that contains the basic types, builtin functions, and some macro magic.
