I have been working on a way to continue using Flash style programming in the WebApp universe. So i have created a transpiler that emits either AS3 code (which could be modified for Haxe), or JS code (for web apps), with a uniform runtime.
It’s a free tool, a language called Beads, which you can find at www.beadslang.org
You don’t have to learn HTML / CSS / JS/Frameworks.
It has a novel layout system, but Flash programmers will find it very familiar in many ways, although i did adopt Python’s indent significant syntax. I invite you all to take it for a spin.
Beads is a higher level language than Haxe or AS3. The layout, event and other things are built into the language, so programs tend to be shorter. There is a github repository with plenty of sample code, at https://magicmouse.github.io/beads-examples/
The drawing model of Beads is more similar to Flash AS3 graphics; instead of using HTML
tags, and svg, you use a consist set of drawing functions (draw_rect, draw_oval, etc.) that will generate either svg or canvas bitmap data. So you don’t have to learn the entirely different drawing systems in the web world, which has vector being completely different than bitmap (in Flash you could just set the flag cacheAsBitmap and you were done!, so much simpler)…
