In both Randori and FlexJS, the transpiler is buried in the package. I think Josh is saying to make it “the” package. Nothing else in it except FalconJX. Did Randori have a SWC of HTML DOM APIs? In FlexJS, we are sort of hiding the DOM. I think to do what Josh is suggesting we’d need a SWC of HTML DOM APIs and make sure FalconJX doesn’t really need playerglobal/airglobal. Having folks download from Adobe to make this thing work would probably kill enthusiasm for it. I have concerns about the energy required to make a FalconJX-only package successful. How would we get people to try it? How would we ever find the resources to compete with TypeScript and its JS framework wrappers? The thing about FlexJS is that I feel like we can get former Flex developers to try it and get things started that way, but without MXML, if you are going to write a project purely in JS or AS or TS, why would you pick AS with TS being so much more mature? Still, an interesting idea. -Alex
