Haxe is hardly a "scripting language", at least according to my definition of that term. It's a strictly typed high-level language with a proper optimizing compiler. Depending on the target it produces either bytecode (Neko, HashLink, Flash and recently JVM) or source code (C++, JavaScript, Python, Lua, C#, Java, PHP).

See https://haxe.org/documentation/introduction/compiler-targets... for a full list of targets.

Yeah sorry, like I said, never did look closely into either of them before. Knew that Haxe had multiple targets but aside from Neko and Flash and JavaScript I didn’t remember the others. Should’ve checked the Haxe website also.

No worries, just wanted to clear up the misconception. :)
