It’s enough to warm the cockles of one’s heart. ActionScript nerds around the globe can celebrate their graduation to “real programmer” status (whatever that means).
I’d seen reference to this around the time of Tamarin announcement, but its nice to be reminded and see a link to the source. The big question is what’s going to happen? How complete is the compiler? Will the AS compiler eventually replace the open source Java compiler used by Flex (assuming mxml compilation was added)? Has anyone used this in a project? Lots to think about.
