Oh I definitely have nothing bad to say about Haxe. I was mostly just referring about some of the external libraries that never made the jump over from legacy, which could be indicative of developers jumping ship.

You make a great point; just because a project doesn't put out updates once a week doesn't mean it's stale. There are some other great projects like haproxy and redis that are clean enough and stable enough that regular updates aren't necessary.

I guess you sort of grow accustomed to that mentality when dealing with some other common OSS projects
