It wasn’t really possible to measure.  The migration effort exposed lots
of bugs and missing features in the Falcon and FalconJX compiler and the
FlexJS SWCs.  If I had to start over today, now that the compiler and
framework have been debugged sufficiently to run most of the example, it
probably would take me a couple of days to port the code and a week to
debug it, but the true test is how long it would take someone new to
FlexJS so it would be great to have others try it.

And of course, as each person goes through the process of attempting to
migrate their code we hope to learn what we need to do to make it easier
for the next person.

I’m in the middle of making some changes to the FlexJS APIs to make future
ports easier.  When I get that finished I hope to blog or wiki a
comparison of the Spark code vs FlexJS code so folks can see what some
differences and potential gotchas are.
