 Introduction to the Haxe Language

+The Haxe programming language is a very modern, high-level programming language. It is very easy to learn if you're already familiar with Java, C++, PHP, AS3, or any similar object-oriented language. More features of the Haxe language:
+
+  * general-purpose
+  * strictly-typed, with type inferencing
+  * compiled (to multiple language targets/platforms, including VM bytecode)
+  * lexically-scoped
+  * everything is an expression
+  * exceptions for error handling
+  * standard library includes modules specific to the target-platform, in addition to
+    modules common to all targets
+  * supports object-oriented, generic, and functional programming
+  * familiar syntax
+  * Haxe the language is purposely kept fairly simple, elegant, and practical to
+    accommodate compilation to the large number of different target platforms.
 
 As the Haxe Language has been specially designed for the Haxe Toolkit, we have paid extra attention to its flexibility. As such, the language easily adapts the native behaviours of the different platforms you have targeted in your development project.  This enables extremely efficient cross-platform development, ultimately saving time and resources.
