An open source programming language.
BSEditor: aXe (pronounced as Hex) is an open source programming language.

While most of the other languages are bound to their own platform (Java to the JVM, C# to .Net, ActionScript to the Flash Player), haXe is a multiplatform language.

It means that you can use haXe to target the following platforms :

* JavaScript : You can compile a haXe program to a single .js file. You can access the typed browser DOM APIs with autocompletion support, and all the dependencies are resolved at compilation time.
* Flash : You can compile a haXe program to a .swf file. haXe can compile for Flash Players 6 to 10, with either old Flash<8 API or newest AS3/Flash9+ API. haXe offers very good performance and language features to develop Flash content.
* PHP : You can compile a haXe program to .php files. This enable you to use a high level strictly-typed language such as haXe while keeping full compatibility with your existing server platform and libraries.
* NekoVM : You can compile a haXe program to NekoVM bytecode. This can be used for server-side programming such as dynamic webpages (using mod_neko for Apache) and also for commandline or desktop applications, since the NekoVM can be embedded and extended with some other DLL.
* C++ : Currently in testing, with the right build of haXe from Hugh Sanderson, you can now output your haXe applications to Pure C++ source code, complete with makefiles. you can free download haXe 2.0.4 now.
