Really nothing disruptive, but as you master a technology and have resources that make you accomplish many tasks you would want to reuse as many as you can. Flex is a great development platform nowadays. GWT, JavaFX, Dart seems to be very good as well in its own flavor. But all people here loves Flex because it fits it's needs and thinks is the better platform to accomplish their tasks. They love code in Flex. They are comfortable in this environment. The problem is that it's output is dying... It could be great to expand the boundaries of Flex and make it play in the HTML5 world...and be the best *development* platform competing with the other we mention...while maintain what makes it great before in *development* terms.
One thing nobody talks about Flex is that the platform gives you all the code, classes and features you need and work seamless...while in HTML/JS you must to search for "scripts" and libraries that makes different people and that does not play well together, so you need to invest many time making it to work together. That kind of things is what Flex could leverage for their users and success in the competition...btw, competition is very good and we should not try to be the only one option out there. 2013/3/6 Alain Ekambi <jazzmatad...@gmail.com> > @Carlos > There is no such JS library. > > > But there is stuff like GWT, Dart ShartKit > So if Flex turns out to be another JS cross compiler > What would be the benefit of Flex over the above ? > That s what i m asking myself. > > I dont see none. > > > > 2013/3/6 Carlos Rovira <carlos.rov...@codeoscopic.com> > > > Hi Alain, please can you point me to libraries/frameworks/plataforms in > > HTML5/JS that provide us with such benefits?
