ActionScript as a language for developing JS applications with jQuery and debager
We present to your attention the movie.
We have a JS generation tool from AS3.
We have an IDE that knows how the generated JS corresponds to the code in the editor.
We have a debugger that allows you to set break-points in AS3, and stop JS.
We have a ton of useful things, such as OOP, auto-commit, type-checking, refactoring, and language extensions.
We have jQuery support - autokomlit and syntactic sugar.
We have the opportunity to expand the functionality of the editor and write our own languages (MPS platform).
We have a bunch of ready-made developments accumulated by the world of Flash over the years of its existence.
We write on AS3 rich Internet applications executed in the browser. Without flash player. ')
Dream or Utopia?
An interesting look not only from the side of the flasher. Very interesting look JS developers.
Do JS developers need OOP language? Do I need language sugar? Are they interested in developing in this direction?
The advent of coffeecript, lesscss and dart show a trend in which we fit in perfectly.
But maybe all this is not necessary and we just lose time? What do you think?
In the next version there will be support for jQuery plugins, d3.js and more advanced debugger. All RASE language extensions will work in the JS runtime - generics, collections, traits, events flow, etc.
