Haxe + Defold = ❤️

I will also add that this is what your build.hxml might look like, with some comment explanations:

###########################################################
#                project files
###########################################################

--class-path src

# recursively include all Haxe sources in the source diretory
# we need this to prevent DCE from removing our script classes
--macro include('', true, null, ['src'])


###########################################################
#                hxdefold
###########################################################

# enable hxdefold Haxe library
--library hxdefold

# override to specify another Defold project root directory
-D hxdefold-projectroot=.

# override to specify another output directory for generated script files (relative to the project root)
-D hxdefold-scriptdir=scripts


###########################################################
#                output
###########################################################

# enable full dead code elimination
-dce full

# enable static optimizations
-D analyzer-optimize

# where to generate Lua output
--lua main.lua

# generate some empty files needed by the Defold lua compiler
--cmd touch bit32.lua luv.lua socket.lua
