Haxe is really an under appreciated language, and I'm happy to see it gain more widespread attention. Though it doesn't bring any fancy new paradigm or language feature, it cherry picked a lot of useful and convenient parts of other languages, and combined it into a familiar, C-syntax statically typed, type-inferred language. You can literally pick it up without reading any documentation if you're familiar with C/C++, C# or Java, and the cross platform support is really good. They mostly use source-to-source compilation, but their implementations are really robust. To top that off, they have an excellent cross platform library in OpenFL (previously NME) that is equally easy to pick up.
