My initial gut reaction to Haxe from the homepage alone, was "Gah, this language is ugly!'. Then I immediately realized that this ugliness was from the fact that the Source example isn't using a monospaced font. It's sort of amazing that, at least for me, using a proportional font just makes things "look wrong", even though everything is syntactically correct.


Ok, ok, I switched back to monospace...


Out of curiosity do you normally write code in a proportional font?


Not usually, but I wanted the app to look a bit less "hardcore techie" than the rest of the Haxe evangelism material :)


The little code box on the front page need more space between lines. Currently they’re right on top of each-other.


Also in the current color scheme, the preprocessor directives are dark red against a dark blue background. Not exactly pleasing.


I put a lighter theme, and increased line spacing a bit
