What is the purpose to target flash player with JS ?
"But irrelevant in the Enterprise world."
Flex with ActionScript has already a very good place there.
"ActionScript and all the non free IDEs that come with it"
There is free IDE for ActionScript and non free IDE for javascript,
that's not a point, and not the main problem with flex by far!
The question is not how to target Flash player without AS, but how to
target non flash player runtime from an AS written framework.

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.

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. Take a look at these demos:
http://www.buckshotui.org/**sandbox/?demo=clock<http://www.buckshotui.org/sandbox/?demo=clock>,
featuring layouts, TabNavigators, Tree, Accordion, Slider, RadioButton,
etc, running on any modern web-browser. As far as I know, this was the work
of one guy...
Don't take me wrong here: I still love actionscript. But it doesn't hurt
checking the new girl on the neighborhood - http://www.dartlang.org/ .
This girl reached M1 recently, and has a huge momentum right now (ML with
1690 members, for example).
