You can experiment with a language-lovers language that compiles to multiple targets. Many of the quirks and frustrations that you may only hit on a project-by-project basis are constantly raised and solved in the community, so you get a broader understanding of the issues currently faced in the JavaScript, Android, iOS, BlackBerry and various other development communities. In your current work that may not be relevant, but as a side interest the depth and breadth of your understanding will be accelerated by osmosis within the Haxe community. It represents more than many communities a bit of a campfire of programmers from different backgrounds who have a shared passion for games and apps. That enthusiasm can stir up your passion for programming if you find yourself in a bit of a language or framework rut. It's still a small community, so that brings with it the usual frustrations, challenges, and opportunities. If you're a driven developer wanting to make an impact, there are a lot of low-hanging fruits in Haxe to be picked, so it's a good runway if you're wanting to build a personal brand. There are also very interesting initiatives like HaxeNME that are threatening to break out from their niche, and in a multi-device world, it's starting to look like quite a compelling open source offering.
