> How has Haxe as a language escaped popular notice for so long?
Simple really - other languages, framework, and SDKs have filled the programming needs of people. I've found most source-to-source compilers to either be completely broken, too complicated to use, or not enough features (I've seen a number of Python to C compilers started and never even close to finished). I discovered Haxe many years ago when I had the idea for my own source-to-source compiler (and created my own lexer, parser, compiler, and virtual machine in C++).
I personally haven't used Haxe yet but I found it's documentation to be pretty good and it seems to have good reviews.
