so we get to lose shmorky a second time in 2020.

the best thing about flash dying is that it puts an end to another thing that nerds whine about endlessly without any sense of proportion of importance

let's just remember that the real reason flash is dead is because over the span of like a decade adobe was never able to make it run on a mobile device without draining the battery in a matter of moments

also they were never able to make it work with accessibility technologies so everyone who does government work dropped it like a rock

the whole it services/consulting company adobe tried to build around air [not flash we promise] was a nice waste of a couple bil

fulp mostly does gamedev right, and ng has ads, it doesn't "need" to be relevant to exist. so long as flash receives security updates it can be a relic and all of the noninteractive stuff can just be on YouTube. maybe ng can be a dumping ground for webgl cum unity poo poo if it isn't already

yeah, i was legit thinking they were going to make it, because air/flex were a pretty good play at a time where the competition was not in order, but they actually fell down on implementation in more ways than one. dysfunctional org one has to assume. if anything they were rather set to be a huge power in both smartphones and as a enterprise software

they were also never able to make it anything close to secure.

it took them over a decade to do a 64 bit port.

it was always a massive battery suck on laptops even when doing nothing.

flahs is and will still be used for the forseeable future to make ui in video games
ui artists know how to use it and work with it and scaleform (the flash runtime implementation from autodesk used in games) is a huge pile of poo poo but hand rolling something equivalent would be tons of work and would still have to use flash movies as input data anyway because of the above

that explains why video game interfaces are so bad
