Tonnes of good stuff is written in haxe - Northguard, Papers Please, just to name a few well known ones (more here https://github.com/Dvergar/awesome-haxe-gamedev#games )

i think typescript has stolen the thunder for web development, but in an alternative universe where typescript didn't exist, i say haxe would be the better altnernative over javascript for web frontend, and possibly, backend as well.
