If memory serves, the initial 3 months was for the initial compiler that
only did swf5 bytecode. Since then we've updated the compiler to
support swf6+7+8, Tucker rewrote all of the Jython to native Java for
speed an stability, we added dhtml/JS1.5 support and a new runtime, and
we built a JS2 backend so we can emit AS3/JS2 code - plus a new swf9/10
runtime. This last change took some major rework in terms of the way
constraints and states work in the less dynamic world of AS3/JS2.
I'm looking forward to seeing your drawing!
http://www.openlaszlo.org/architecture could certainly use a refresh.

Yes that's a good one.
The whole presentation was interesting.
But it did raise one question in my mind.
If Oliver did basically the whole laszlo framework in 3 months how come
laszlo isn't further now after 4 years?
Must be the open sourcing ... he must have lost his appetite ;-)
Anyway I will start from that picture and see if I get bored with
debugging and want to relax myself with some artistic self-expression.
I once built a translator that parsed my own version of sql to dialects
from different vendors so that you would know that your sql worked with
different db's the same way (I had implementations for mysql, db2 and
mssql). I built the whole "compiler" myself but later thought that if I
would do it again I would give a try to SableCC. Has anyone had any
experience with that?
