Quoting David Arno <da...@davidarno.org>:
+1
Wouldn't it be important if the community had access to the Falcon
source at a very early stage?
There are some great ideas here around creating an API for the
compiler to support formatting and documentation tools for example.
Also I'd like to experiment with adding custom generics support to
the compiler. I'd love to get involved in this stuff, but see no
point in starting it with the mxmlc compiler source since we know
falcon is coming at some point. So please can those with the falcon
team's ear badger them into releasing to Apache as soon as possible
(before it's complete.)
David.
I will +1 this as well since I will almost certainly be a major
contributor/committer to this branch of development. One of my goals
personally dealing with the Falcon compiler is to create a place that
I will document everything I do as a notepad for others. So I would
like to have as much documentation on the developing the compiler as
say extending a component.
The compiler IS the Flex SDK and to empower developers to get involved
would be a huge new driving force for the architecture built to use it.
I see this as a very important step in getting Apache Flex into the
melting pot viewed fairly along side other competing technologies. I
have had a few blog posts about the transformation of Flex and really,
this is exactly where it is going to happen on the low level.
