"Professional haXe and Neko"

This round - robin technique is known as bootstrapping.
As time goes on, other languages will be written for compilation against the Neko virtual machine. At
the time of writing this book, there is a small group of individuals working toward building a compiler
to allow Ruby scripts to run under Neko. If, after reading this book, you find yourself wanting to create a
compiler for your own favourite language, drop an e - mail to Nicolas Cannasse on the haXe mailing list
and he ??™ ll steer you in the right direction.
haXe and Neko Requirements
While using numerous other scripting languages in the past, we have often had issues with complex
installations, numerous dependent software installations, complex file structures, and all sorts of yoga -
like key combinations that practically dislocate your fingers, just to get the things running. We have since
given up these annoyances and left any references to the game of Twister to Lee ??™ s six - year - old daughter.
haXe and Neko are different. They are very minimal programming platforms.
