feel from your code, while leaving a very quick and simple means to add the necessary logic.
Summary
In many ways, you have only touched on the possibilities for GUI development in haXe. Indeed, when
Xinf is finally production ready, there will probably be more powerful GUI creation capabilities than in
any other scripting language, providing another notch to haXe ??™ s belt. There is a lot that could not be
covered in this chapter, mainly because of the infancy of the tools covered, but even in this early stage,
haXe and Neko already now have the power to produce almost any application imaginable.
