Hello :) For me it's really important to complete AS3 with ES4 features like generic, Type, iterators, etc. I can't imagine a next version of the langage without this features... and other important features loose between AS1/2 and AS3 like __resolve__ in all the Object ( Proxy is cool but only with inheritance :( ) or an better constructor access (use an apply in the super for example )
