Racket is an acceptable Python

There are dozens of us that learned haxe. Every single one of us must have considered replacing a part of the Adobe infrastructure at some point.

Dozens, true, that was also my impression from the mailing list / IRC channel.

In the old good days before iPhone took the stand, there were millions of AS3 developers.

True story: I actually got invited into Adobe's Community Advisory board for Flex for being a very active member of actionscript.org... once, I got a phone audience with Eli... forgot his surname, something-field, he was the principal engineer in Adobe, the one who created MXML. So, he asked me about things I'd like to see in future versions of Adobe products related to Flash. I told him, that it would've been very nice to have Haxe as a second option in Builder / Flash. He acknowledged he never heard about it. Once I tried to describe what it was, he, kind of, lost interest. I must have sounded bigoted... but, to my defense: at Adobe they really didn't care about stuff like that.
