I don't see how type inference in Haxe is worst than AS3 type inference. Think it stands on its own on that particular point.

I also never had a crash with something out of the running service compiler, even earlier since I started using it at 2.x, you probably evaluated it in a 1.x version ? You talk of enums but that was at the top of the "pros" around 4/5 years ago.

Leaving AS3 and being able to target all the systems I want to target, was the reason Haxe became valuable to me. So that "reasons we chose AS when developing Spaceport" is sort of telling about Spaceport and nothing else. It isn't an option for everybody, really. You can build all sorts of projects on it, from a server daemon, to a casual game on mobile through the usage of Haxe NME / openFL. Things have moved on, so to say.

It's rather bad compared to Haskell or (Oca)ml, in fact it's bad even compared to Scala.
