At one point around 2014 I was looking for alternatives and tried Haxe with OpenFL. I loved the language but the ecosystem was super fractured. I remember something was breaking on the latest version of OpenFL and the cause was in some intermediary layer to make the whole thing work (Lime IIRC).
I've found tons of resources and cool people in the Godot environment that I've worked with. I'm taking a break on the game to develop new features for an addon we use in-game with the maintainer on things, which is not something you get as often with a more seldomly used platform. All to say, I'm satisfied with our decision.
It never gained significant popularity. If you want to learn a new language, choose something that is already popular and is gaining popularity. That would be Typescript or Rust at this moment.
This is a complete non-answer. I'd assume that they know that Haxe isn't as popular as other languages, but they're asking about people's experience with Haxe, not looking for recommendations on which language to learn.
I've also written Maven plugins - and later when I ditched Maven, Bazel rules - to incorporate Haxe projects into our build systems that work pretty well. This makes it pretty seamless to incorporate say a Haxe built Java library into a project, and the same utilities in Javascript - including debugging in Eclipse or the browser.
It's not all sunshine though, I find that Haxe-compiled Python code tends to be underperformant and needs a lot of love to become as performant as, for example, the equivalent Java code. And it is true that the community is smaller, so it can be hard sometimes to get answers to questions. But it's still fun to write and work with, and I definitely see myself continuing to use it in the future.

Sounds more like a chat bot answer, TBH. It misses the point of the question in a much too subtle way.
There's a huge genre of blog posts and Reddit threads where beginners tell other beginners which language is best to learn to get started with programming. My guess is that OP mistook this thread for one of those.
I don't know any other companies who are releasing games in Haxe today.
