Small nit, Haxe doesn’t have the upper case X anymore...

One more caveat to add to the end of your note here... Actionscript was probably the biggest standardized language across all web browsers at one time. It’s dead largely because of a business decision, and this left a lot of developers in the lurch. This will undoubtedly happen again.

Haxe is run by a group of developers that insists on keeping control of their tooling and means of development, regardless of what other platforms emerge. This always involves dealing with some rough spots and friction getting things to work initially, but in the long run it pays of with greater flexibility and peace of mind.

Thank you for clarifying about the developer's aspect of haxe.

Also didn't know about the x being lower cased now. :)
