MTASC just wouldnt be where it is if it wasnt an improved AS2 compiler. The only incompatibilities are where the MM compiler is basicaly lax/broken, so code designed for MTASC *will* compile in MM compiler. I dont think I'm alone in stating that code I develop commercialy for Flash *has* to be compilable in MM, and hence a new language just isnt going to work for me. Sure I would like a better language than AS2/3, but when your hired to do AS work, you cant deliver anything other than AS.
So where do we go from here? Simple - NC will develop his new language - which for the large part will probably be great, but few people will use it seriously. MTASC will get developed by the community to support AS3 and will continue to be used on a large scale. On NC's decision to develop this new language... as far as flash specificaly is concerned - I cant see the point. AS3 is a huge improvemnet to AS2 (as AS2 was to AS1) and I cant see MM taking it in any other direction in the near future. _______________________________________________ osflash mailing list [email protected] http://osflash.org/mailman/listinfo/osflash_osflash.org
