Intermediate
@:forward abstract is an atomic Haxe lesson inside Type System. The example uses the specific syntax, command, API, instruction, or language rule named by this lesson.
Study the construct itself, then change one relevant input and predict the result before running it. That keeps this lesson focused on @:forward abstract rather than on generic Haxe syntax.
Topic-specific example

Try It Live
@:forward(length) abstract Names(Array<String>) from Array<String> { } class Main { static function main(){ var n:Names=["A","B"]; trace(n.length); } }
Edge case / engineering note
Compile @:forward abstract for at least one target and watch for target-specific behavior where the feature crosses a platform boundary.
