AS3 was better than TypeScript in several ways;
- It was interpreted natively (no build step). It was fast. AS3 was much faster than AS2.
- It was heavily targeted at games. Games have a lot of objects and those objects tend to have complex relationships with each other (I.e. more inheritance and more polymorphic compositions; where different objects can be passed to the same method to produce different effects).
- 52-6F-62 8y agoIf I have to continue doing any kind of front end work, I would be very okay with a native TypeScript runtime in the browser with support for modules. Add in the option for a flag to skip type-checking and we might have a win-win for fans of pure ES6/7/8.
