I've been looking to other technologies for the past few months and so
far HaXe was closest to Actionscript I could ever get. Though I'm still
a noob at that language, I felt pretty familiar and comfortable working
with it.
Going with Neil's options:
no.1 is freaking risky, considering what we've experience with Adobe
from the past few months.
no.2 I agree this will have a lot of work and may take years before we
could release a Beta.
no.3 for me, would be the best option. Porting Flex to HaXe(it certainly
has some ring in it ayt? :) ) will not only make HTML5 + JS output
reachable but also output to other technologies as well! Plus you can
untie finally Flex from Actionscript and be happy coding to a royalty
free language.

If going with what Niel described to be the options, I'd certainly stick to
the third one. I like HaXe and had written in it quite a bit. It had proved
to be a much better compiler then whatever Adobe had offered in the past.
It's unreasonable to deny the chance that Falcon will be an entirely
different thing, but I can't help being worried :)
