Hm. This may make flash suddenly relevant to me and many others. Actionscript itself is weird, so I've avoided it. But python or ruby, that's workable. I wonder if they're going to do it at the bytecode level for java? That would open up a variety of other interesting languages. What I want to know is: what's the value of this to Adobe? It's been apparent for ages that they're trying to claim platform share. But I don't understand what this buys them. Sales of developer tools? That can't possibly be very much. I can imagine it being 'strategic', but I don't know how. Perhaps this is why I'm in a cubicle, not a boardroom. :)
