Anyway, thinking about it more, I start to understand why Flash would be easy to use to create new UI addons, since it creates vectorial grapics.

Yes native Vector support is a big part of Flash's strengths for such an application. iOS support was actually Apple's doing though. iOS development support was built into Flash CS5 but Apple gave Adobe a big old middle finger on the app store.

Adobe is dropping flash support for all mobile platforms but that is only Flash Player. Flash and Actionscript in Flex/Air applications will still be supported on new devices as they are standalone packages.

Overall Adobe is accepting the HTML5 standard though so that is definitely correct. They cannot compete with W3C standards. But, HTML5 is new and still not a lot of people know how to utilize the new API hooks and technologies associated with H5.

I'm stoked, I can't wait to get development resources from SE for app/addon design. First up, simply out of spite because people hate them so much A DMG/DPS/HPS meter!

It'll probably be in LUA like the majority of MMOs. LUA JIT is very flexible and configurable.

I run a business that focuses strongly on web design and for the most part flash is dead. You do everything in html5/css3/js now.

Flash is still pretty epic and actionscript is fun and easy to learn. But website-wise, javascript is the new norm and im pretty sure adobe even has a flash-like product for designing JS/html5/css3 stuff now.
