Yes. "With Javascript" I mean via Typescript or Flow, you can have some static type-checking. You can use Sweet.js for macros with Javascript, but you can't use both of these tools together.
I'm unfamiliar with Ocaml, Scala and Haskell but OK.
Besides that, the type system of Haxe is far more expressive than those of most languages that also compile to JS. Ocaml, Scala and Haskell are the better known languages that are actual competitors in that regard.
