Hi Maher, thanks for joining us and express you interest in this kind of topics. I think is interesting.
My first impressions about this are that would be great to add other languages and make the compiler output SWF, JS, and the rest of targets we want based on files coded in other languages. About Kotlin, I only know about it from some colleagues in the industry, and don't know how many people like about this, probably in order to make this kind of addition officially, we should see if this gets traction in this thread, then see if that could be possible (contributors with time and real targets) that could start working on a separated branch, and of course if all those is ok, cast a vote. In my case: 1.- I'd like to know what has Kotlin as pros over actual AS3 and why we should invest time on it (actually your time to contribute this) 2.- Another thing that we talked about it various times is the interest in add TypeScript what seems (IMHO) a good target to pursue since is taking over the front-end world quickly and soon will have many libraries that can be used directly in Royale and the language has some key points like typed and generics that many of us wants to use. From that point of view TS seems more interesting than Kotlin, from what I know. just a few thoughts about it Thanks Carlos El lun., 19 nov. 2018 a las 14:32, Maher SOUA (<[email protected]>) escribió: > Hi All, > This my first contribution, I am suggesting to add support for Kotlin, it > seems to be promising language that could be compiled to javascript, also > it is a really smart syntax, unfortunately I am not expert, but I really > want to dive more and may be that I could succeed to add it in royal. > I've tried it in android development, it is really easy and simple > language, Google didn't choose it by chance to be official language for > Android plateform, also that may help (I hope) make Royale more famous and > may attract more developer, I am still sad about flash and actionscript, I > hope that Royal wil be better winner successor. > What is your opinion about this idea? > -- Carlos Rovira http://about.me/carlosrovira
