Subject: Re: FlexJS - roadmap to 1.0 release


Hi Alex,

You mentioned that Falcon is already set-up to be a code completion engine for 
FlashBuilder. Ideally we would love to leverage it, using it for the Moonshine 
IDE. Do you have any information about how Falcon can be communicated with to 
extract that? Possibly an entry-point to the code-completion engine, or 
anything related to the code-completion that might be informing.

Thank you,

Walker Dalton

Hi Justin,

Just today I was thinking of finally getting around to trying Moonshine on
my Windows computer.  More below...

For me, I would like at least one public testimonial that someone was able
to use FlexJS and put an app into production.  We have example apps, but I
want to know if FlexJS can do something a bit more complex.  Other folks
may have different opinions and I could easily change my mind if folks
want to call the release after 0.7.0 our 1.0 release.

I haven't used Xamarin, plus I think as a member of Apache I'm not
supposed to do opinion-based competitive analysis.  It is fine to state
hard facts though, but in many ways your choice of tools is subjective.
Mostly, I think we need folks who have been successful to articulate the
advantages.

Moonshine is an AIR app, correct?  Porting Falcon's AST code to
ActionScript would be a serious project.  I'm wondering if there is some
way to leverage Falcon, possibly as an ANE, or via some other
cross-process communication.  Falcon is already set up to be a
code-completion engine for Flash Builder.

Thoughts?
