You could also write your app in Haxe instead and cross compile to Javascript, Python, C++, Java, Lua,...

It's so good to see Haxe mentioned!

I ported an entire AS3/Flash game to Haxe that my friends had written during our college years, as a kind of "thank you" present for ten years of friendship (adding mobile, cross-platform, gamepad controller, netplay and other things).

While the tooling was spotty, I found the experience wonderful! Haxe felt like a decent language with laudable goals and a nice community.

I hope one day I find another reason to work with Haxe.

Does anyone have any project that is using Haxe in production? Would love to hear about such stories!!

Not my project but there's always Dead Cells and the stories behind its developed.

This seems to be intended as an interesting experiment (in the same genre as things like quines). There are obviously more production-ready ways to compile code for multiple runtimes.

Haxe is not just an experiment. It is a mature language and ecosystem used in production. You will find it powering many games for example.

I used it a long long time ago on one of my first freelance gigs (with a PHP target). It was already quite solid and saved me the need to use a PHP framework.

I also remember using it as a typed javascript pre-compiler, at a time where FB Flow and MS Typescript were still fighting over developer mindshare. I would probably still use it if TS didn't take over the ecosystem entirely.

To what extent does Haxe still align with modern Javascript? Is modern javascript even considered to be the basis of actionscript anymore?
