Sorry, self promotion in the sense, that a fan praises haxe but does not do business himself, which was not, what I was asking for.

The original blog post of Nicolas Cannasse has a question mark at the end (very strange and confusing vibes, if the originator does not know ...), which is missing here, which makes me want to ask how serious Nicaolas Cannassee really is, w

No, a site for public consumption should behave consistent in current browsers. Otherwise, the author demonstrates merely his misunderstanding of the web.

Almost unusably slow here also, this is a bad example of a website, because the web/html works better the more one designs for the least common denominator, not pushing it to its limits. Fundamental misunderstanding, mismatch.
