I agree - just look at the current state of MTASC. I feel we *dont need* a new language, but we *do need* an open-source AS3 compiler. Nicolas has thrown the towel in - fine thats up to him. But what the rest of us need to decide is whether we are going to continue development of MTASC as it stands (e.g. OCaml based) or whether it may be better if a few of us started from scratch with a flex/bison approach. Is anyone else with me on this? If everyone feels we should stick with OCaml, is anyone else going to help get AS3 support in MTASC? Would anyone else like to see/help on an alternative? _______________________________________________ osflash mailing list [email protected] http://osflash.org/mailman/listinfo/osflash_osflash.org
