Adobe Flex was my most productive client development experience over the past 20 years. I transitioned to Android _but_ there were many hideous things with that (e.g. ghastly emulator, legacy Java support etc.).

My personal hope is that Flutter gains traction and the web can move beyond current web/native technology. Postscript / PDFs aren't suitable for game experiences...and to my mind web standards have been shoehorned into supporting web apps, where there is a mismatch with native technologies. I'd like to think that Flutter can help bridge that gap.

This is not to say that accessibility etc. should be ignored...nor better support in Firefox...but even Brendan Eich is using Blink/V8 with Brave.

Anyhow, thoughts of one.

As hated as flash was, there was a whole creative ecosystem of really unique games / art pieces that died off with it. A shame.

Ahhhh Adobe Flex with MXML and ActionScript3. Before Typescript and React with JSX got popular that was the cool kids club. RIAs yo! Rich internet applications.

I loved what Flex brought to the table. Too bad Adobe didn’t open source flash and let it die.

It lives on in web APIs
