Notes

• Static typing: Yes - means the target platform natively supports static typing; Haxe code itself is statically typed no matter what target it is compiled to
• Sys: Yes - means the target supports the System API
• String encoding - see the Encoding section of the manual for target-specifics.

Tiers

• Tier 1: actively maintained by the core compiler team with a strong focus from the Haxe Foundation
• Tier 2: mostly maintained by individuals, but still managed by the Haxe Foundation
• Tier 3: kept up-to-date, but not much active development
