The sample program on the Haxe main page demonstrates a complete misunderstanding of the value of dictionaries. Not exactly inspiring one to learn more.

    class Test {
      static function main() {
        var people = [
          "Elizabeth" => "Programming",
          "Joel" => "Design"
        ];
        for (name in people.keys()) {
          var job = people[name];
          trace('$name does $job for a living!');
        }
      }
    }
