The Language of the Web has a new home. I haven’t been enthusiastic about many of the changes people have been clamoring for, but the world has evolved and the language needs to evolve as well. Javascript creator Brendan Eich makes a good case for what’s needed, though I suppose nobody will be completely satisfied. I am not a big fan of ActionScript but having it co-exist with Javascript is fine by me. Right now Adobe AIR supports that and so Sockets and other system level stuff can be done from Javascript - cool! Both ActionScript 3 and and Mozilla’s upcoming Javascript 2 are ECMAScript Edition 4 based and will run under the same Tamarin VM.
