Seems like TypeScript is better suited for building web applications (backend and front-end) but HaXe has OpenFL that makes it amazing for games.

  OpenFL is just one of the many Haxe frameworks, to be sure. For instance, Haxe is great for web applications too -- one of it's chief draws is that you can share the same code on the front end and the back end, but target whichever language is best for that. JS on the front, PHP/NodeJS/Neko/Etc/ on the back. UFront is just one great example: http://ufront.net/ http://ufront.net/ As for other multimedia frameworks, here's my best attempt at an exhaustive list: OpenFL - http://www.openfl.org http://www.openfl.org SnowKit - http://snowkit.org/ http://snowkit.org/ Kha - http://tech.ktxsoftware.com/ http://tech.ktxsoftware.com/ NME - https://github.com/haxenme/nme https://github.com/haxenme/nme Flambe - http://getflambe.com/ http://getflambe.com/ HEAPS - https://github.com/ncannasse/heaps https://github.com/ncannasse/heaps And things built on top of those: HaxeFlixel - http://haxeflixel.com/ http://haxeflixel.com/ HaxePunk - http://haxepunk.com/ http://haxepunk.com/ Luxe Engine - http://luxeengine.com/docs/ http://luxeengine.com/docs/ Away3D - https://github.com/away3d/away3d-core-openfl https://github.com/away3d/away3d-core-openfl HaxeUI - http://haxeui.org/ http://haxeui.org/ KhaPunk - https://bitbucket.org/stalei/khapunk https://bitbucket.org/stalei/khapunk
