Hey I want to ask something more philosophical. I learned to code as2 when I was 13 later on I learned as3. Yes I wanted to do games. Today I'm way older and I have a question. Is actionscript development dead? Wasn't actionscript the API king of games as Kongregate and other portals claim?? In that case which is the flash subsitute?
Oh the link that triggered this question was the one below in which Scala, a new innovative and working experimental language is shown to be more used in all stats that my dear actionscript.
Thnx for taking the time to answer
Flash is not dead, but it is slowly being replaced by HTML5. The key word there, is slowly. All web developers will want some form of backwards compatibility and if you start going back to IE7, 8 or even 9, you'll find that HTML5 is unable to do a lot of what Flash can.
There is a reason massive companies such as Bet365, 888 and the majority of online game makers still use flash. Backwards compatibility is the primary reason.
