Malpractice (from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malpractice):

> In law, malpractice is a type of negligence in which the > misfeasance, malfeasance or nonfeasance of a professional, > under a duty to act, fails to follow generally accepted > professional standards, and that breach of duty is the > proximate cause of injury to a plaintiff who suffers damages.

Using another language is not failure to follow generally accepted professional standards, and I doubt using another language can result in damages to the client. Please don't use technical (legal) terms if you don't mean it.

(Also, HaXe is not a vanity language, unless you like the rest of us calling your favorite language a vanity language too: "Pshaw! It just compiles to ASM!")
