I developed a lot with haxe and openfl back in the day when flash got killed. I wrote my bachelor thesis about an automated converter from as3 to haxe. It was a blast. Ported several projects within hours instead of weeks to native webOS, iOS, Android, Windows, Linux, OSX and Html5. Highly recommend. It is fun language especially for native game development. Issues I had where the "final steps". Like on screen keyboards , different aspect ratios of devices (especially android), performance issues which where not the fault of haxe but incredibly bad designs in several projects I ported and several other things one wouldn't think about. It is NOT plug and play with haxe but you have the freedom todo whatever you want.

Also shout-out to the maintainer of openfl and several other projects. I think he was called Joshua (still remember the name even I haven't touch haxe in over 10 years). Without this guy, haxe would be half the fun.
