I think it is robust enough. Have a look at radii8 (http://www.radii8.com/demo/ <http://www.radii8.com/demo/>) and you’ll see that well-written AS3 code indeed does its job.
What I was referring to is the compiler. I am not sure about the performance of AS3 compared to Java in handling byte array data, what would be needed for releasing swf. In each way, it took Adobe 15 person years to release the alpha version of the Falcon compiler, so I guess it would be a long road to go anyway… Rgds., Sascha > Am 24.11.2014 um 14:55 schrieb Paul Hardiman <[email protected]>: > > I’m not asking if it should be done; I am asking if we think that Flex/Air is > robust enough be the foundation for an IDE that is competitive to Eclipse.
