I miss Flash

Javascript can be fun, but I miss Flash. I miss having packages. I miss having private, protected, and public variables. I miss having getters and setters. I miss the organization of a Flash project. Javascript is so messy, even when it’s done well.

Mostly, I miss the Flash community.

Don’t worry duders, I’ll be back.

    Have you tried haXe?
    I have coded in AS3 and JS for a long time and now I love haXe more than the two.

  3. Jacob Wright Says:

    No, I haven’t. Are you able to find jobs that want haXe? Or is it just a side-hobby?

    JS is pretty okay, but jQuery really makes it fun. Thankfully I was able to find a few JavaScript folks in my circle so I didnt feel the lack of community too bad.

  5. Jacob Wright Says:

    Yeah, I like jQuery a lot, but when you get a large application it is still a challenge to manage everything.

    Flash was created to fill a void that was never properly filled. Now, it’s starting to be filled properly, and Flash will start disappearing. I miss old programming languages too, but they had to go… It’s a good thing.
