kind of funny how the haxe stack ended up mirroring both C# and OCaml.

apparently adobe (or expats) actually tried to get actionscript codified as the next ecmascript. this got pooped on for some reason. haxe took actionscript 3 and slapped ocaml types on top of it.

they basically pre-empted typescript by 20 years but all that matters is GAFAM clout, so, heh.

@sun i liked it back in the day. i haven't used the current tooling yet. and haxe 5 is around the corner.

i ultimately didn't use it because it bothered me that it wasn't self-hosted, but :comfyshrug: that hasn't mattered, and its endured for the past 20 years regardless.
