Comment on Lightspark: LLVM-based Flash Player for Linuxparent

Comments

Tamarin is what runs AS3 in the Adobe Flash Player.

Exactly. And it's open source. So my question is: why re-invent that part? The other bits seem more pressing for practical use, even if Tamarin isn't as fast as it could be or whatever.

Who knows, what about V8? Maybe V8 is better, on that note would be interesting if browsers exposed their JS engine to Flash so that any browser improvements to javascript would also improve flash performance, instead of duplicating effort and having adobe do crap with actionscript it all just runs on one engine and vuala.

Pipe dream or reality?
