Hi Justin, Just today I was thinking of finally getting around to trying Moonshine on my Windows computer. More below...

For me, I would like at least one public testimonial that someone was able to use FlexJS and put an app into production. We have example apps, but I want to know if FlexJS can do something a bit more complex. Other folks may have different opinions and I could easily change my mind if folks want to call the release after 0.7.0 our 1.0 release. > >It would be really helpful to our cause if we can articulate the major >bullet points for why someone interested in cross platform development >should go with FlexJS / AIR vs. Xamarin.

I haven't used Xamarin, plus I think as a member of Apache I'm not supposed to do opinion-based competitive analysis. It is fine to state hard facts though, but in many ways your choice of tools is subjective. Mostly, I think we need folks who have been successful to articulate the advantages. >Finally, we really need help getting code completion put into Moonshine. >I'd appreciate hearing from anyone who is skilled in building Abstract >Syntax Trees and parsing them in real time who could contribute this. Moonshine is an AIR app, correct? Porting Falcon's AST code to ActionScript would be a serious project. I'm wondering if there is some way to leverage Falcon, possibly as an ANE, or via some other cross-process communication. Falcon is already set up to be a code-completion engine for Flash Builder. Thoughts? -Alex
