What is it all about ? Well its all about another language. Not really, if you know ECMA script like javascript or actionscript, haXe is just another home. It does not hurt to learn the simplicity of the language. That does not mean, its not capable! The capability of this language is, it compiles to a lot of platforms! Are you serious?! Yeah, you heard it right. It compiles to almost all the platforms we have now. Starting from AVM1 and AVM2 swfs to native windows, mac, linux applications.
The simplicity of a scripting language and the robustness of C, the best of both worlds! Awesome. For a quick overview of all the platforms, head over to the official page here.
Now haXe comes with a lot of libraries on top of the basic language, which makes it even interesting. And one of the such libraries is NME. After working in NME for a week, I am not kind of addicted to it. It simply allows the code to be compiled to HTML5 and iDevices like iPhone/iPad. The complete list of supported devices are listed here in the official page.
Hope that should already have been making you interested in haXe.

If you still need to see some hands on coding and examples, join me this sunday, where I am doing a workshop on haXe and NME for flash developers.
Happy haXe -ing.
