ActionScript is Cool — Yegge of Google Said So

Steve Yegge posted a must read transcription of a talk he gave at Stanford on dynamic languages. On the last question of the day he gives a great plug for Adobe’s Evolutionary Programming model and ECMAScript Edition 4 (ECMAScript Edition 4 was the basis for ActionScript 3, the language of the Flash Platform).

If you’re a language geek or just want some ammo for your “ActionScript isn’t just a toy” speech that you have to resort to periodically, you’ll want to read and reference this talk.
