I work with Kotlin at my day job but am also active in the Haxe open source community. I really like both languages, and I don't think that Kotlin is objectively better than Haxe.
In practice, there are things about Haxe I miss in Kotlin, but also things about Kotlin I miss in Haxe. Just to name a few examples:
- I'm missing Haxe's pattern matching and macros in Kotlin
- I'm missing Kotlin's level of IDE support and robust null safety (with ?: and ?. operators) in Haxe
(Haxe does have experimental opt-in null safety, but it doesn't seem production-ready yet)
