Either way, the death of AS3 was a sad thing. One of the best languages ever made, imho. Optional typing, e4x, normal inheritance (non-prototypal), etc... The web would be a better place if AS3 took over instead of js (and I love js). I imagine wasm would have shown up and been a ton easier to implement as well. AOT bits that are full static, JIT bits that aren't. No need for TypeScript, Flow, etc... Especially sad since iirc Adobe donated the entire thing and was pushing for it to become standard in HTML4.
