Quoting Alex Harui <aha...@adobe.com>:
I'm certain that we should explore a way to allow someone to use MXML-like markup and an OO language to create apps to target apps on multiple devices. Remember that we could simply become a front-end to PhoneGap/Cordova on the way to getting native apps on devices. But we need to convert some amount of AS to JS and FalconJS is probably a good start for that.
I would put a lot of time into this direction since it's NOT AT ALL tied to Adobe's Flash Player. This would be an awesome goal for ActionScript and Apache Flex using the compiler. This idea definitely makes me feel different about "Flex". This is the horizon that has yet to be sailed and explored.
