## Safe
Royale is backed by Apache and offers the peace of mind knowing that Apache
processes govern Royale's releases.
+## Javascript. Fixed!
+Javascript is great, but it has a lot of weird parts. ActionScript and Royale
fixes the problematic parts of Javascript:
+
+- Unexpected type conversions are a thing of the past. Royale offers runtime
type safety you will not find anywhere else.
+- You don't need to be concerned with scope of "this". Functions are
automatically bound to the correct scope and behave predictably.
+- Inspectable types at runtime. Do you need to check for classes and
interfaces at runtime? With Royale you can!
+- Runtime type casting. Do you want your code to fail early if an unexpected
type is used? With Royale you can.
+- No more Number problems. Royale has true ints and uints. By declaring your
types, you can be sure that your variables will not be converted to floating
point numbers at runtime.
+- Native XML support. Royale applications support the full ECMA E4X spec not
generally supported by modern browsers today.
