it's good for apps that don't have _that_ much platform specific parts, but have lots of application logic. Such as games.

It's an OK language for backend server - esp. if you also have a frontend client in the same language (such as the game and the multiplayer server backend).

Does it have WASM support yet? That might be a good fit.

not natively, but because haxe compiles into C++, you can setup a wasm pipeline from that (presumably). Probably not something commonly done so there's no premade tooling for it.

Edit: it seems someone has setup a hello world example of using emscripten to compile haxe into wasm: https://gist.github.com/MatthijsKamstra/cbae06ae1dc3561621e4... - it's not that difficult apparently!? Color me surprised.
