Haxe is a high-level, cross-platform, multi-paradigm programming language and compiler that can produce applications and source code for many different platforms from a single code base. It is free and open-source software, released under an MIT License. The compiler supports output as ActionScript 3, C++, C#, Go, Java, JavaScript, JVM, Lua, PHP, and Python source code, as well as its own bytecode format, and was originally created by Nicolas Cannasse.

Which platforms can Haxe target?
It compiles to JavaScript, C++, C#, Java, JVM, Python, Lua, PHP and Flash.
Haxe is built around compiling one code base for many platforms. Its own site describes it as an open source high-level strictly-typed programming language with a fast optimizing cross-compiler, and says Haxe can build cross-platform applications targeting JavaScript, C++, C#, Java, JVM, Python, Lua, PHP and Flash, while still allowing access to each platform's native capabilities.
