> hopefully generics will be supported by the Falcon compiler. Unfortunately, they won't be, at least not in the first release. We're just working on compiling the existing language faster and in less memory.
As discussed in the recent Flash Runtime whitepaper, Adobe plans to evolve the language, but primarily to help with the company's new gaming and video initiative. Whether generics are part of that future hasn't been decided yet. Also, whether Adobe will continue to contribute to Apache future compiler changes to support new language features seems unclear at the moment. I haven't seen anybody write anything about that, and it probably hasn't gotten a lot of thought yet.

I'd be more than happy to donate these if we did want to build a set of collection classes into the SDK. They'd probably need a bit of work on them to make them faster as I wasn't interested in speed when I wrote them though. And hopefully generics will be supported by the Falcon compiler. I know I'm planning it with my Goshawk efforts. David.
