+1 non binding While I don't wish for flex to integrate another meta framework for application development, I WOULD like to see come of the components of Swiz integrated as language features. Dependency injection is a powerful tool that is a central part of most other frameworks in this space (web application development). Well implemented AOP supported as a language feature could also be a game changer and a reason why someone would adopt the new Flex over other technologies.
