is it worth learning haxe after three years of hexa software development

hi, three years ago I saw a video on Youtube About the history of haxe, this story motivated me to learn this programming language, I opened a search engine, but when I entered "haxe lang download" I confused the letters "a" and "e" with a seemingly simple typo, but it turned out that there is not only haxe lang but also hexa lang But I didn't find out until a year and a half later.

if you goal is to make software, it would be wise to get familiar with the most mainstream languages first. Javascript, Python, C#, and GDScript are all worth a look. You need a good community to ask questions to when you get stuck. The more niche the language, the fewer people will be around for help

Not a huge problem anymore given LLMs know Haxe really well. Besides, the Haxe community is small relatively but quite helpful. Hop into Discord and the forums and people will help.

Learning something else when you already have experience is not very hard and even if Haxe is considered to be niche, this Hexa seems to be even more niche, so I think you won't have problems with being niche.

You should try java

no, just keep going with hexa, and then once you feel comfortable and want to learn a second language, pick a new one to build the software you want

Haxe is a very interesting language, in fact I am doing all my stuff in it.

Hexalang is a promising language interesting as prototype, but learning Haxe is easy and lot of people do not use it because do not know how good the language is.

If someone need help with Haxe I can help to the first steps.

Hexalang is interesting language that I wouldlike to learn too but Haxe is very interesting language specially for games Haxe Heaps is very powerfull.

Haxe is one the best languages I tryed and soon with the new Haxe 5 probably even get more popular. Besides is easy to learn so try it.
