Hey everyone,
I was wondering if you think that it would be possible/suitable to utilize Shumway as a Flash API runtime, used directly from JavaScript, rather than executed from ActionScript bytecode?
I'm also wondering if there's been emphasis on performance, or primarily on consistency. I see that now there is WebGL code, is it fast? Is it available for all rendering APIs (text, shapes) or are some of those done only using canvas APIs?
Since we have the ability to compile code to multiple target languages (ActionScript, C++, JavaScript) there are lot of interesting possibilities that could open if Shumway is not tied to the DOM, and would be suitable for this, outputting to Flash and HTML5, or targeting desktop or mobile C++, or even doing a round-trip to Emscripten and back to the browser.
Thanks guys!
