The Spoon project team has posted some information in their blog on the Flex Summit demos of FalconJS. Here are some interesting facts: http://www.spoon.as/2011/flex-summit-live-updates/
+ FalconJS will be donated as open source to Apache + FalconJS AS3 compilation: AS code -> falcon front end / falcon js code gen -> google closure compiler -> faster JS Code Standards used: HTML, JS, SVG + “Falcon JS” refers to two experimental utilities: – AS-> JS – MXML -> HTML/CSS/JS + "Seeing example apps running. They look really good." That actually sounds promising. The DHTML code should be much more optimized with Google Closure support, assuming that FalconJS supports the advanced compilation mode. There will be some changes regarding tooling – Flash Builder — will release support for apache flex — removing unpopular and expensive to maintain features: Design View, DCD, and Catalyst workflows – flash catalyst discontinued (with catalyst cs5.5 support for flex 4.5) – monocle continues as a priority It sounds like the latest components are optimized for FalconJS already, that means Adobe has done most of the work to have complex apps running in JavaScript.
