Dislike ActionScript - Like JavaScript. Interesting ...

• tinco 13y ago
  I think more people click dislike ActionScript because they dislike Flash rather than that they actually used ActionScript and did not like it. (For the unfamiliar: ActionScript and JavaScript are both implementations of the same language specification. Disclaimer: I have no idea in which ways both languages divert from the specification.)

  ActionScript is a Java-ed up JavaScript. It's based on the failed ECMAScript 4 proposal which adds classes, public/private, imports, and other features. It's not hard to see why people wouldn't like it. I would say it's "okay", but I wouldn't actively want to use it for anything.
