As you can imagine, all of this flexibility means there are a great many ways to do a great many things,
so you ??™ ll concentrate on much of the basics in this chapter and extend upon this as you progress through
the book.
The Neko Standard Libraries
The Neko standard libraries can be split into two parts: the .ndll (Neko dynamic link library) files
containing the compiled C language code and a series of haXe classes that either wrap the .ndll
functionality for use in your own haXe applications (provided they ??™ re compiled for the Neko virtual
machine) or provide classes that extend these wrappers. This kind of library partnership can be seen in
other languages, such as Python, PHP, and Microsoft ??™ s Active Server Pages. Though, we guarantee you ??™ ll
never again see the pure simplicity and power capable within the relationship between Neko and its
libraries.
As with other languages, the Neko libraries exist to provide various types of functionality, such as the
ability to access and manipulate databases and the filesystem.
