With Gerry's post last night on his Fast Fourier Transforms question and that Alchemy won't cut it, it makes me curious why Alchemy is still in Adobe Labs. I saw the first preview back at Max 2007 and it's still in beta three years later... wonder if it's some technical hurdles they haven't been able to overcome to make it complete, if Adobe's just not very committed to it, if they are legal issues, a combination of these, or something else. Too bad, it would open up a lot of code libraries to us.
If Alchemy is really becoming a dead end for Adobe, it's kind of ironic that "alchemy" in a historical sense was actually a failed attempt to create precious metals from raw metals (like turning lead into gold). Anyone know anything more about the status of the behind the scenes work on Alchemy?
