The longevity of Flash code is also dubious. I mean, C/C++ pretty much
stay
the same. Each new version of AS adds all kinds of new syntax, class
structure, methods, etc. Actionscript is far too malleable to have any
real
shelf life.
It is pretty much the stated goal of Macromedia to put an end to that,
though. The end goal is ECMA-4 compliance, which means that from here
forward, ActionScript should change at about the same rate as C# or Java,
and with those languages companies and developers count on classes being
reusable with only minor revisions.
