I know a few people who use haXe professionally.
One of them that I know personally is a professional Flash developer who used haXe exclusively for some times, because it had a better standard library than Flash (AS2 at this time) and generated lighter and faster SWF files. I remember him telling me that he made a somewhat huge (several hundred euros) donation to the project and that it still cost him less than buying the Macromedia Flash software. Since AS3 he's back to Flash thought.
Some others I know through their work: Motion Twin [1] for instance, who are the creators of a lot of very successful Flash games.

- gizmogwai 14y agoMotion-twin is Nicolas Cannasse's company. So they obviously use HaXe extensively.
- olaf 14y agoThanks for claryfying that, now p4bl0's post appears to me like more or less self promotion.
- p4bl0 14y agoHuh what? I've never worked for Motion-Twin, and I actually never wrote any haXe or Flash myself. I'm just a programming language enthusiast (and student to an extent, since my PhD subject is in part about PL design) so I like to follow Nicolas Cannasse's work. I also happen to enjoy one of MT games (Alpha Bounce [1]) very much and to have web developers friends among whom one made me discover haXe years ago, talking very highly about the technology (that's how I discovered Cannasse's work too).

- olaf 14y agoSorry, self promotion in the sense, that a fan praises haxe but does not do business himself, which was not, what I was asking for.
- p4bl0 14y agoI know, Motion-Twin is a company he cofounded. He recently left to start a new one: http://shirogames.com/ http://shirogames.com/.
