With ActionScript 3.0 and the ExternalInterface API, flash developers like me are in a dreamy time-warp … back in the day I like so many other designer/developers cut my programming teeth on Danny Goodman’s JavaScript books. Now AS3.0 is derived from the same mother tongue (ECMAScript) and JavaScript is becoming an integral part of Flex applications and not something just to wrestle with when trying to embed a .swf (”…why…won’t…it…work??!!”)

So when I read this post by Rubinelli, I was glad to hear that some view JavaScript as the “Next Big Language.” Soon, everyone will be putting colons between their variable names and type declarations, and you will know that it is good.
