I’ve only ever heard of it in one context. About seven years ago TiVo announced that they were going to start using it to program their devices when they made the new (terrible) interface.

I don’t think I’ve heard about it since then.

Haxe is very much a games language, it started out (IIRC) as an ActionScript compiler by a game studio (Motion Twin, now most famous for Dead Cells) who was sick of trying to program in the shitty bare-minimum editor built into Flash, and evolved into its own language that compiled to the Flash plug-in’s VM. Motion Twin released it and its support tools as open source, and a lot of other Flash game devs picked it up.

Interesting. I don’t do any games development so outside the small amount I know about from watching various AAA games being discussed I’m pretty ignorant.

Thanks for the context.
