"Professional haXe and Neko"

Simply go to http://
localhost:2000/server:config and you will be presented with the option to change the directory
location. This is great if you are testing multiple applications intermittently.
Compiling to JavaScript
JavaScript is quite an ambiguous language as, like most scripting languages, it can be applied to various
environments. For example, one could find a JavaScript engine used as a server - side tool or embedded
within a large desktop application. However, when describing JavaScript with haXe, you are specifically
targeting the JavaScript engine used by most Internet browsers.
Although the JavaScript specification used by web browsers can often vary from browser to browser, the
haXe platform provides a number of functions within its compiled output that aid in providing a bridge
between the different browsers, so that code run on one browser should function similarly when run on
another browser. This is an added benefit of separating the language from the target environment, as
haXe does.
