Spoon compiler test

greet.spoon

#!/usr/bin/env coffee

# Spoon code:
greet = name -> trace "Hello #{name}, how are you?"
greet "Person"

# Compiler result (fully working Haxe code):
#
# class Greet {
#   static public function main() {
#     var greet = function (name) return trace('Hello ' + name + ', how are you?');
#     greet('Person');
#   }
# }

In AS3 I might do greet like that but in Haxe I would use string interpolation.
var greet = function (name) return trace('Hello $name, how are you?');
see: http://try.haxe.org/#B5AB4 you also don't need the return keyword in this example.

Not sure that it's an extensive enough example for your point to be validated, think it would be more useful to post maybe some 3d drawing or some xml parsing or something, best Justin
