Description
I notice that at the [language intro page](https://haxe.org/documentation/introduction/), where it has the buttons for the platform-specific getting-started guides, there isn't one for eval/interp.
If a new user wants to get started right away learning and using Haxe, I would think that the fastest path for them would be to use interp.
Recently I was trying to find the easiest way for someone to use Haxe on MS Windows (I'm not a regular Windows user). I looked at the list of target guides there, pondering which platform would be the easiest to target (easiest to install prereqs), and also considered using try.haxe.org, until realizing that I don't need *any* target to start off with --- I can just use `--interp`.
Maybe, on that page, change this:
"Now that you've downloaded Haxe, you can get started with a specific platform."
to something like
"Now that you've downloaded Haxe, you can get started right away using the [built-in interpreter](path/to/eval/getting-started-guide), or else with targeting a specific platform."
