The haXe Language
New languages pop their heads out of the woodwork at a staggering rate. It seems, every time we
browse the Web, we find a new language that claims some fantastic new capability or style. The haXe
language, however, was designed to unite existing technologies under a single language, so the syntax of
the haXe language was its most scrutinized characteristic.
haXe is, by definition, a high - level language. The primary benefits for using haXe are its simplicity and
consistency. Where most languages force a user to program in a certain fashion, haXe provides a hybrid
nature of many features, but at the same time, haXe strives to produce the best of all features. For
example, haXe is a statically typed language, so it is important that data containers within a haXe
program maintain a set data type, thus maintaining security and good coding practices. However, in
keeping with the advantages of dynamic languages, you need not specify what type of data a container
represents at design - time.
