And, speaking as an Actionscript hacker, the language is very good to work with. It takes all the best aspects of Javascript, gives them some (largely optional) Java-like safety/structure features, and puts them in a much more sane API environment.
- aaronblohowiak 17y agoThe language is pretty cool, too bad the VM and compiler are terrible.
- blasdel 17y agoHa, I think the language is pretty mediocre (making JS superficially enterprisey is not a good idea), but the VM itself is pretty decent, especially on Windows. The real problem with the Flash implementation is in the native runtime, not the VM. It just struck me that Flash is a ripe candidate for a Smalltalk-style turtles-all-the-way-down runtime implementation!
