[haXe] Functional programming constructs in Haxe

The reason why I chose haxe over AS for development is mostly because of
the support for functional programming constructs. I hope haxe doesn't
become yet another object oriented language. When I write programs I
tend to think in terms of dataflow rather than objects. What I would
really like to see in a programming language is some dataflow
constructs. Pretty much every programming language that support function
calls have dataflow syntax like this: f(in)->out. I wish there were some
construct like f(in)->(list of places to send the output). I guess what
I'm asking for is to add continuations to the language, except implement
them in a more friendly way (syntax wise).
