Armory maybe?

Luxe was initially written in Haxe and they migrated to C++ eventually.

Seems like there was a previous version of the engine that was written in Haxe [0]

Also, that old version used to be open source, but I think this new one isn't anymore. Old thread mentioned by @pvg still mentions being open source, but right now the repositories only have docs.[1]

It's neat, but not better than real open source solutions.

Pay is what you want unless your at work and then it's price is under NDA isn't friendly.

Godot is still probably the best FOSS engine right now. Arguably it's strongly in 3rd place behind Unity/Unreal.

I love this bit

    You may not use luxe for the following, no exceptions:
      * military use
      * the gambling industry
      * crypto/NFTs/related
