flash has been abandoned for 15 years
History would be different if Apple had bought Flash back then. It made sense: a web-based lightweight platform for making games and such on a phone.
- JiNCMG 6y agoThat is the issue... Flash was not LIGHTWEIGHT! It was an obese messed that Adobe "NEVER" managed to control. Sure the files you pass from server to client was "somewhat" light weight but the player was breathing heavier than a fat man leaning over the buffet table!
- buboard 6y agoyeah apparently javascript or html5 video isnt lightweight either though. I 'd prefer the timeline in which the flash ECMAscript and animation model had become standard in the browser.
- JiNCMG 6y agoNot sure what you are talking about. JS and HTML Video is as lightweight as you can get. The 3 main browsers just keep optimizing performance with JS on every release. If you need to compare Flash to something then compare it to Java Web Applets
