It would be lovely to have something like the scala objects (they exists globally and they can implement interfaces and/or classes).

Very interesting changes you've done there. Maybe someday this could be ported back to the main source code? :)

I was also thinking about changing Haxe in a way that it wouldn't always require a class, but would automatically stick code to a "Main" object (just like Ruby does), this would make Haxe good as a typed scripting language. I find that creating a class just for to have a main method kind of verbose. This would be a nice experiment too.

This together with a good (cross platform?) REPL would make for a very powerful combo, in my opinion.

What are your thoughts on that?

Even if those changes don't get ported back, they are here to prove that Haxe's syntax can and will eventually be improved, and to show people that hacking the compiler is actually a possibility. Inspiring stuff, keep up the great work.

Hi, saw this feature on the latest haxe.io and a question on haxelang where it seemed a good match. While creating an example I ran into an issue with functions, I've created a C# example online that mirrors the use of ?. operator without the errors I received in Haxe.
