I think Haxe is unique in the balance it is trying to find between compilation speed, platform consistency/reach, and advanced language features. My personal observation is that Nicolas and the other language authors seem to prioritize things as I've just listed them. Compilation speed thing is a "big deal" that I don't hear talked about a lot on HN. Haxe's compiler is so fast that it provides autocompletions by itself. So, completing fields from "using" mixins, constructor inference, structural types, or macro generated methods are all very fast, and guaranteed to be correct. So, perhaps while Haxe's features are not as robust as a few other languages, they feel much more tightly integrated with most coding workflows.
