> I think Google got better at indexing documentation as well

I think this is it. I also thing documentation in general has gotten a lot better at answering questions rather than being just an autogen api doc site.

> whenever I read stuff like this it is incredibly disheartening

Its not something to worry about most of the time. At least here in Australia the below situation would be very unenforceable

A company buys your time and the IP in and around the industry your job is in. Like you can't steal customers, you can't steal IP. If you're paid to come up with a new product/idea you can't just resign and become a competitor you'll get sued for that.

But if your a programmer and write a sequel to Gone with the Wind even if your contract states that the company owns your ideas it won't stand up in a court if the company tries to take ownership. So long as you didn't use company hardware or information which can only be gotten at that company.

Yeah i have used it to make some, small but not trivial games. I really enjoy it. I mostly just target the HashLink vm as its met all of my needs.

The actual language is great. I am a long time ago former flash developer, and heaps.io and haxe has captured a lot of the enjoyment I used to have making games for newgrounds
