The idea of haXe is smart, but some things seems scaring to me. One of the most-scaring thing for me in haXe is necessity to learn "almost the same" language as AS2/3. But not "exactly the same". What do I mean?
For example: " haXe is very conservative about Flash API. You can use all the Flash API like you were used to do in ActionScript." -- wrote on intro page, http://haxe.org/intro It is very good! But when I've read further I've found: " the standard classes such as Date, Array, String can have some changes in haXe since they are common to all haXe platforms. Watch the haXe API documentations for more details. the Xml class doesn't exists in haXe and XmlNode is named Node in haXe standard library (following the W3C DOM recommendation)" - wrote on http://haxe.org/tutos/start/flash. And this is what I mean when say "scaring things". It is scaring for me because I must always remember about those differences if I write AS3 in haXe. So I think haXe need to be better positioned toward the flash developers as its potential biggest community. More AS3-like I think. Core types should be the same as in AS3. Just IMHO.
