I really love Haxe. A truly multi-paradigm language with good support for GADTs, OOP, structural and nominal types, lambdas, and a lot of practical sugar on top. The macro system and abstract types add enormous flexibility that I miss when going back to C# or Java. The language is a bit verbose, but I prefer it and generally add type annotations instead of using type inference (unless I’m dealing with a super gnarly generic type). The language shines in the graphics space since some of the Flash community gravitated to Haxe. I’ve found that it works great as a client/server language similar to a typescript frontend/backend stack. The benefit with Haxe is that the backend isn’t limited to Node, it can run on JVM, bare metal with C++, Openresty with Lua, and anywhere Python runs. It’s pretty easy to implement F# style type providers with th

e macro system as well. There is also a C# target, however, there are talks of deprecating. Hopefully we will see a revival with Reflaxe, another way to make new targets, or maybe even a CLR target. https://github.com/RobertBorghese/reflaxe Lastly, I’m very excited about Ammer the universal FFI for Haxe by Aurel. https://aurel300.github.io/ammer/ My hope is that the community will rally around Ammer and bring in a lot of native libraries to all targets.
