- 3. why we chose haxe? ● Cross compiler for 10 targets (C++, JS, PHP, Java, Python, Lua…)
- 4. why we chose haxe? ● cross compiler for 10 targets (C++, JS, PHP, Java, Python, Lua…) ● free and open source toolkit
- 5. why we chose haxe? ● cross compiler for 10 targets (C++, JS, PHP, Java, Python, Lua…) ● free and open source toolkit ● statically typed programming language
- 6. And we discovered it was a ● cross compiler for 10 targets (C++, JS, PHP, Java, Python, Lua…) ● free and open source toolkit ● statically typed programming language
- 7. language features So, what should I expect from a GOOD programming language?
- 8. language features ● Great syntax/semantics ● Code readable and easily maintainable ● Compile time optimizations ● … And fun/intuitive to use :)
- 9. But, let’s start with...
