More of a worry is the fact Flex is dependent on the Flash player which as of yet has not been opensourced.

A headless player is holding back CI in a big way.

I also can't see FalconJS delivering a full flex stack without help from the browsers. A lot could be rendered in a canvas, but then you get into situations where you need stage text etc...

I just wish Adobe had a simular JS environment to announce at the same time, or slightly before. At least then there would be a migration path. Currently Flex devs are trying to find a simular enterprise RIA platform, and none of them are owned by Adobe.




Flex has a dependency on the Flash player, but that doesn't have to be the case. As an ASF project, that dependency can (and likely will need to be) broken.
