I've been haxing for some time now, and I know of at least one startup that uses/used it (Profitably). In short, Haxe can produce swf and neko binaries and C++, C#, JS, Java and PHP source. Language itself is, for my humble old school OOP taste, really well done and compiler is blazing fast. So fast that people now implement real-time error checking by simply compiling project (with few additional flags). Real perk here for me (a game dev) is not so much Haxe as libraries for cross-platform development, namely NME, which appears to have some restructuring going on right about now [1]. It is SDL-based haxe library that's really the one powering cross-platform game deployment. And it's pretty great at that, but a bit unstable. The goals outlined in the video linked should get that on the right track. Of other interesting things, 2d physics engine named nape [2] comes to mind. It blows Box2d out of the water in oh-so-many aspects, particular ones being memory and framerate stability.
