Oct 14, 2016 Other / Working with cppia
This article is about cppia, a scriptable cpp subtarget for Haxe. A cppia script is a instructions assembly script that can be run inside a cppia host and gives you fast runtime speed at near-zero compilation time. It also lets add performance critical code to the host, wich gives you full cpp runtime speed for those parts.
