Hey guys, for various reasons I'm leaning towards picking Dart over
actionscript for future projects, mostly because the dart language is advanced
supporting async/await, generics, abstracts, and much more. However I think
the team behind MXML, especially in FlexJS and the layout framework are second
to none. I was contemplating bringing in FlexJS to dart via StageXL
(http://www.stagexl.org/) an implmentation of the core flash runtine in Dart,
along with a custom version of FlexJS that I would cross compile to Dart.
Has anyone considered this path, and what are you're thoughts about this?
Personally I don't like some of the decisions made in the FlexJS project
regarding supporting flash runtimes as well as JS as it adds a lot of crud to
the FlexJS codebase and ties our hands limiting us specifically to the flash
runtime and avoiding some of the more multi-threaded oriented javascript
developments. Just want to gather some opinions before me and my team start
tearing into this. Some changes I would make to the FlexJS framework will
include using something like signals instead of string events, heavily using
multiple threads for layout & rendering.
