the AS 3.0 implementation is entirely missing declarative style of programming: it is purely event-driven. i.e. you cannot get an AS 3.0 "command prompt" and start executing code, you can _only_ do "stuff" as fired off and in reaction to user-driven events [in an adobe flash/ AIR application]. > it would be impossible to say which one is more similar to Lisp.
