Given ActionScript is a superset of ECMAScript, it would make more sense to compile it to JS.

If it lives on in an unbreakable, throttleable sandbox, that's not a disaster. It was the leaky native code that was the problem.

My point exactly,Flash(the IDE) isn't a bad thing if it allows artists to create interactive experiences or games on the web,desktop or mobile.

The issue is obviously the Flash player and the browser plugin architecture. With WebAssembly you get the "binary blob" executed without a plugin.

How so?
