Hi Romuald, haXe currently targets PHP and Neko as backend languages. The point of using haXe is that you share the same syntax and and at the same time you can develop to a specific platform using platform-specific libraries.
I don't think it's only about strong typing, you also get same syntax, same compiler, same structures... This might or might not be a big deal for you, but it certainly helps. To answer your question: "is there any point in using Haxe PHP before we have another language server supported?". Well yes if you want to develop PHP sites with the benefits explained above. I think it has nothing to do with any other future platform. If haXe will ever target other platforms (.Net, Java or Android's Dalvik), nobody knows. Well, Nicolas might have a clue, although PHP wasn't added by Nicolas but by Franco Ponticelli. I mean, if you want to target another platform and your OCalm is up to the challenge, you can try it yourself, that's the beauty of Open Source :D Hope it helps.
