Look, I understand that AIR has its limitations for gaming but please understand that now with https://feathersui.com/ - the community that is in fact the one that will save AIR - offers incredible smooth UI functionality for really complex Apps - 10s of thousands of lines of code managed using GitHub - joshtynjala/robotlegs-framework-starling: Robotlegs 1.x ported to Starling MVC. Show me any cross platform tool that can offer what we have at our disposal? Think threads, remoting, web sockets, local DB, encryption - enterprise grade sh** that for some reason is never considered in this thread. Not only that, but we have ANEs! So, whatever the current state of AIR, we can compile Swift and Java applications right into our Apps, I mean, what more could you want?! Note the syntax of these languages - AS3 fits right in. I just want to offer some love to this thread because this toxic energy isn't necessary. Let's just leave it at - AIR isn't so good for some people - but omg, it's absolutely amazing for others (and a HUGE potential number of others).
