All Over Software Jobs: Re: [flexcoders] You are the product

Monday, December 19, 2011

All that adobe needs to do is, start attempting to replace the current JS with AS3.

Currently AS3 is a compiled language and JS is an interpreted language. Now can adobe come up with an interpreter for as3?

I feel the same way. I just dislike JS and going from ActionScript to JavaScript is a step back.. a big one.
If you know Java, you're in luck 'cos with GWT you can just write Java apps and they get compiled to JS (with html/css) and you
still get to use Maven/Spring/Hibernate and do all the OOP stuff and whatnot. You don't have to look at javascript at all, let alone
write a single line of it !
As I mentioned earlier, if FlashBuilder would do something similar, I'd be all over it.
And it can be done, haXe already does that.
