Currently, as I'm sure most of you are aware, the Flex (EDIT: Flex 3) compiler is extraordinarily slow. It does however have an API. My question is: are there alternative (possibly C/C++ based) compilers that are faster than the current Adobe one?
I realize compilers aren't something you can pump out in a few days, but if no alternative is available, do you think it would be worth the time to implement a faster flex compiler?
The compiler is supposed to be much faster in Flex 4. But I haven't verified this with actual real-world use cases yet. If you try it then let me know what you find.
