The Howdy Glossary

Haxe is an open source high-level programming language. It can compile code for several platforms such as JavaScript, C++, C#, Python, Java, PHP, and Lua. This multiplatform support lets developers write cross-platform programs that can run on different operating systems and devices from a single codebase. Haxe uses its own unique syntax which is type-safe and expressive thanks to features inherited from object-oriented and functional programming languages. The language also comes with its standard library that provides utilities for common tasks and interface with native platform APIs when necessary.
