video for the web...video for the web...Posted May 16, 2008 10:59 UTC (Fri) by sylware (subscriber, #35259)Parent article: Adobe releases Flash Player 10 beta
Flash is 99.9999% used as a video player. As soon as the W3C will have finished blocking the DOM minimal video player and the main video sites support this DOM player, flash is fried. Adobe knows that so they are trying hard to take over mozilla. You can witness it by the bloatification of spidermonkey from a light clean C lib to a monstruously complex C++ VM (yes the clean C code is trashed). I think the mozilla fondation members got corrupted because anybody with a bit of common sens in computer design would have seen that coming.

Eh this is the first time I've heard someone describe the current macro hell of Mozilla JavaScript interpreter as "light clean C lib". thou the armchair architecht in me would have preferred a LLVM based Jit VM than yet-another-handcoded VM what tamarin is.. Perhaps the webkit people will do that then.

Posted May 16, 2008 22:50 UTC (Fri) by nix (subscriber, #2304) [Link] You forgot the Sylware Maxim: if it's C, it is ipso facto light and clean and elegant, regardless of any properties of the actual code. If it's C++, it is similarly ugly and bloated, even if (as with much of the STL, say) its size hit is exactly as low as it would be with hand-crafted C code. This is religion. It doesn't need to have a grounding in mere plebeian *facts*.
