I used it for a few research projects around the same time. Overall it was a good experience, even after wresting with the macro system, and I was very sad it didn't reach wider adoption.

A few years later I tried to rebuild an old project running openfl 3.0 and failed miserably. I ended up building a docker running an old base image to get it working. That made me realize that the haxe community toolchain also evolves quickly in a non-compatible way.

The TypeScript ecosystem already way too large and way too fast. It's hard to follow both. It's also harder to find collaborators / hires.

In a fantasy world a megacorp would pick up haxe as a main driver and pump money into the ecosystem and make lots of people haxers.
