One of the best things about Flash was that you could pack up all your bytecode and bitmaps and vectors and sounds and fonts into a single compressed SWF file that contained your entire application/game/demo. That made it really easy to do stuff like double-click-able client demos and deliverables for websites. Ditto for Java and JAR files.
Looks like the "compressed bytecode that runs really fast" part is now a reality. I'm hoping they'll work on making deliverable packages that are convenient for programmers and users.
Anyone know if there is there anything like this in the works?
