Hm, I think that hurdle alone would be reason enough not to consider HaXe, in its current incarnation of course, as an alternative. I really do agree that with Falcon in our hands we'll be much more flexible, the runtime dependencies will then be something that the community itself can tackle. I totally respect HaXe for what it is, and I think the guys making it are pretty brilliant, but its still no reason to drop actionscript IMHO. Maybe we'll even be lucky and these guys will contribute some of their time on Falcon, I hope it tickles their interest :) Roland
