The Haxe programming language is well known for its wide range of compilation targets. It is possible to compile a single Haxe code base to JavaScript, Java, C#, Python, C++, PHP, Lua, and more.
Let's have some hands-on experience with the Haxe by building a simple game that is totally cross-platform - runs on desktops, mobiles, and browsers. We will explore Haxe’s modern language design and study how it produce performance efficient outputs.
