I'd love to see a comparison to Haxe. https://haxe.org/

I wonder what performance and generated code size/quality look like.

From https://github.com/fusionlanguage/fut/discussions/119#discus...

> I've read about Haxe in 2000s, before I started my work on Fusion. They have different design goals: in Haxe you create whole apps, in Fusion you create components to be used from other languages. Haxe has syntax similar to the (now dead) ActionScript, Fusion is similar to C#. Fusion transpiles to C, D, Swift, TypeScript, OpenCL and Haxe does not.

At a time I was very interested in haxe, but their focus on games made it (perceived as) lacking in the area I wanted to use it (cross platform client-server apps). Recently rust seems to have taken this role for me.

Apparently Haxe cannot target OpenCL. It can target PHP and Lua instead.
