Would be great, download is already in progress;) hank williams <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: There is a new open source language called haXe that has much of what you are looking for. It is being written by the author of MTASC, the open source actionscript compiler. It will compile down to code that runs in a virtual machine on servers (like php), into flash, and into javascript so that you can write client side ajax code in an advanced language. The idea of one language for these three targets is very appealing. In any case you can check it out at haxe.org.
