I think Nicolas expected critisim as well as praise, for one I think the guys a genius with what he turns out, but I build large apps for various clients and can't afford to jump with a cool non standards language regardless of how cool it is. If Nicolas wanted to get away from AS3 I'd fully support another STANDARDS based language or if his new language was published to some type of standards forum and it got wide spread approach I'd love that too. The type of clients I've worked with took a long time to even beleive flash was a "real" language and the fact it is standards based helped me sell it, it doesn't matter how cool something is to typical corporate clients, if its "niche" they don't want it. I belong to an enterprise architecture team and we set the corporate direction for over 550 developers in various languages and being standards based is critical for us to be successful, we are now starting to push AS2 with MTASC and eclipse for RIA.
I will continue to use MTASC with eclipse while doing AS2 and will probably move to flex 2 once its GA, I wish nicolas and those that want a new language the best of luck and will be very excited to see what they produce just for my own personal interests even though I can never use it comercially.
