## What it is
Haxe is an open-source, high-level, strictly typed programming language and cross-compiler toolkit that compiles to many targets including JavaScript, C++, JVM, Python, Lua, PHP, HashLink, and NekoVM. It includes a cross-platform standard library, a macro system, and the Haxelib package manager.

## Use cases
- compile one codebase to javascript and native c++
- build cross-platform games with a single language
- transpile haxe source to python or php
- write a typed language that targets the jvm
- use macros for compile-time code generation
- develop mobile and desktop apps from shared code

## When to choose
- you need one statically typed codebase deployed to many platforms
- you are building cross-platform games or apps
- you want compile-time macros and pattern matching with multi-target output

## When to avoid
- you need deep ecosystem tooling of a single mainstream language
- your team relies on target-specific debugging and native idioms
- you only target one platform and don't need cross-compilation
