Does it realistically make sense to have a web meta-framework that compiles to different backend frameworks such as Node.js or PHP?

Maybe, maybe not. It just feels to me like Haxe only really makes sense for gamedev, and even then only barely, because of huge, crossplatform game engines like Unity.

I really like the language (after reading the tutorial at least), but I'm not sure where would using it make sense. For backend stuff it just seems completely inferior to Typescript (considering library support especially).
