Well, Haxe seems squarely aimed at the game sector, first with Flash, now with HTML5. There are quite a few possibilities, but I don't really see a big movement towards the "normal" web application area, even the nodejs/C++/Neko web wrappers seem a bit oriented towards providing backends for games. I'm not asking for Haxe's equivalent to Rails, but something like flask, sinatra, express or compojure would be nice. (Supported, with some mindshare behind it -- I'm aware that there are a few fledgling webapp frameworks on github) Not that the game has been called, Typescript and Dart themselves have been out for a while and don't really took large slices of the pie. The biggest "transpiled" Javascript language is still Coffeescript, and that's basically Ratfor for the web. There's also Opa and Fantom, if we're going even more esoteric...
