Crazy how people on this list always think you have to do ActionScript to target Flash ! People there s a JS binding inside the Flash Player. Meaning anything that compiles to JS (like Dart, Java, Scala, etc ..) can be used to write applications for the Flash platform.
The Flash player is not the issue with Flex but more the fact that one have to use ActionScript and all the non free IDEs that come with it. ActionScript is a good language. But irrelevant in the Enterprise world. 2012/10/19 João Saleiro <joao.saleiro.webf...@gmail.com> > I might be crucified for this, but has someone considered rewriting a > Flex-like framework on top of Dart? > > John Evans alone started building Buckshot UI on top of Dart which > features a declarative language similar to MXML, data-binding, UI controls > among other interesting stuff.
