Hi,
Seeing as winter is here in NewHampshire and ice covers the ground, I
used the opportunity to put my money where my mouth is;
NOTE: All the javascript is generated by code I wrote using the
AST/Visitor/Walker pattern of the node hierarchy and their
corresponding definitions. I have it running from the command line
like MXMLC does.
I about 10 hours of programing I have the following constructs cross
compiling to JS using Flacon.
I will say, Falcon is one of the best designed APIs I have used in a
long time. Whoever architected this compiler gets a huge pat on the
back from me.
Right now this is hoisted ontop of MXMLC as a quasi target compiler.
Oh how I love prototypes. I cannot believe I actually have this
working in less than two days.
As far as code, it will be in my whiteboard when it's in my
whiteboard. :) Whenever that is, no specific time.
The amount of ridiculousness I felt trying to wade through the
FlaconJS code prompted me to do this.
The thing I really grabbed on to is we are using the closure compiler
so worrying about highly optimized cross compiler becomes a non issue.
Quote Erik on this.
