Learning Haxe is a great way of understanding how certain PL concepts map to different language implementations. You can write up a simple "hello world" example for the feature you're interested in, and see what it gets turned into in the output. Another interesting thing to look at is the OCaml source for the Haxe compiler itself. https://github.com/HaxeFoundation/haxe At first, I was hesitant to do much with the compiler since I don't know OCaml. But, I recently forked the source and am making an attempt at a lua target: https://github.com/jdonaldson/haxe/tree/haxe_lua_rb1 It's been a great way to learn OCaml, and Lua. If you're interested in creating your own Haxe target, I'm hoping my commit log will be helpful.
