About Haxe
Haxe is a cross-platform open-source programming language. It is a statically typed and garbage-collected language that compiles (transpiles) into another language to run. It supports multi-paradigm, object-oriented, functional, and generic programming. Transpiling means the compiler emits source in another high-level language rather than machine code, so the output then runs on that language's runtime.
Haxe first appeared in 2005. Development is led by Simon Krajewski, Nicolas Cannasse, and Cauê Waneck. Haxe is now used mainly in specialized niches and by dedicated communities.
