Thanks very much for posting that link, for some reason I hadn't seen it yet. It very much demonstrates that Adobe are still committed to Flex, which is very good news to me.
"Adobe will also have a team of Flex SDK engineers contributing to those new Apache projects as their full-time responsibility." certainly doesn't read to me that they have abandoned the project.
"Falcon, the next-generation MXML and ActionScript compiler that is currently under development (this will be contributed when complete in 2012)
Falcon JS, an experimental cross-compiler from MXML and ActionScript to HTML and JavaScript."
That is actually one of the most exciting things I have read in a long time regarding software development. I wasn't aware work on this was under-way, though I had suspected it might be.
I will look back and laugh if in a couple of years all the people hating on Flex now are using these tools to build their HTML 5 applications.
I can actually see these developments improving Flex for the community in the years to come.
