There are many pros and cons using late-binding over early-binding, I don't how it is implemented in the Flash VM but and I can beleive to their advantages in a constrained environment but what I would like to know is the real drawback in term of performence measured, having enums, private constructors, generics, is that possible in some way to ask that to the VM team ? > We'd have to give up a lot> of that to be equivalent with Java and then the >approachability and > forgiveness that makes programming in AS3 fun and easy might go away. I not sure to be able to follow you, how can we have less fun and ease improving the language ? Frédéric Thomas
