TypeScript is definitely one of the most well-known compile-to-JS languages nowadays. Designed as a superset of JavaScript, TypeScript brings in static-typing for writing large-scale application. Haxe is similar to TypeScript in many aspects, particularly its JS-like syntax, static-typing, and module system. Among the 9 Haxe compilation targets, the JS target was one of the oldest ones. It was introduced in March 2006, which was way before Microsoft released TypeScript in 2012. In fact, Haxe is a language that compiles to JS, ahead of everyone else including TypeScript (2012), CoffeeScript (2009), Dart (2011), and Java via GWT (May 2006). So I wonder, which is the better compile-to-JS language, the (relatively) new shiny TypeScript, or the good-old mature Haxe?
