It follows in the footsteps of the WWX, a community organized event that was held annually in Paris for the past five years. Building on its predecessor's success, the summit will bring together the core team behind Haxe. It will also gather all the active members of the community worldwide, as well as businesses that are either already using the technology, or wish to evaluate it further and meet the people behind it.

“Haxe is a free cross-platform language, that allows the compilation of the same code base to JavaScript, C++, Java, C#, Python, PHP and other less known targets. It has an arsenal of cutting edge features that make it highly expressive and flexible and while it has not yet succeeded in entering the mainstream, it looks back on over a decade of production use and a steady growth of its community and ecosystem”, explains Juraj Kirchheim, a Haxe advocate. Some high profile speakers have already confirmed their participation such as Nicolas Cannasse, Director of Haxe Foundation; David Mouton, CTO at Happy technologies; Francis Bourre, Software Architect at Docler Holding, just to mention a few.

Haxe is an open source toolkit based on a modern high level strictly typed programming language, a state-of-the-art light-speed cross-compiler, a complete cross-platform standard library, and it offers ways to access to each platform's native capabilities.
