I use Haxe which is a

Haxe is an open source toolkit based on a modern, high level, strictly typed programming language, a cross-compiler, a complete cross-platform standard library and ways to access each platform's native capabilities.

what would be the benefit for using Lobster since I can work directly with each OS with a great scripting language built in?

Haxe can translate to an impressive set of languages and platforms, so if that is your main need, I'd say, stay with Haxe.

Haxe and Lobster are very different programming languages however, so you may prefer one over the other purely for the language design.

If you like portability, Lobster already runs on 3 desktop OSes, 2 mobile ones, and the web, using either VM, C++ or soon WebAssembly modes. While not as extensive as Haxe it is pretty good :)

I'd like to know this as well.
