Hi ..some heavy discussion recently on the excellent flashcoders list re: developing advanced IDEs for flash [authoring], and pros/cons of client side vs. distribution nexus of player upgrades. People really pushing the limits of flash see big potential for all sorts of smart ui building and client side features.. They are making libraries and virtualizing flash. So of course I mentioned rebol :)
Does anyone care to help answering this reply critique ?: thanks ./Jason > Rebol is great but it has several fatal flaws. > > 1. Lack of 400 Million Plus users > 2.
