I like how kyle simpson explained it. But yes javascript is the language of choice. I used to do PHP but I got sick of $$$$ dollar signs and how ugly it looked. Typescript and java is ugly too me. C# is okay.

This is the difference between ActionScript 2 and 3, I programmed using both. AS3 was basically ES4, entirely different from AS2. It was a pain for Flash developers to adopt AS3 because most came from a designer background, and AS2 was quite easy to understand, whereas AS3 brought a whole lotta functionalities but was also far more technical, like a regular programming language. AS3 eventually took Flash to new heights, but probably contributed a lot to its final downfall, most notably, security issues.

as bad as the flash platform is, I liked ActionScript 3.0 a lot more than JS, it felt more robust and less quirky and it was easy to learn if you were coming from other similar languages

@@Mefistofy So wait, you hate javascript but love python? What exactly do you like about python that you do not have in JS? They are no that different really (dynamic types, support for imperative, functional and object oriented programing, everything is an object, garbage collected, wide spread, a lot of libraries for pretty much everything, etc, you can even get rid of the c style brakets syntax using something like coffeescript, so that even the syntax is similar to python)

@@sebastiangudino9377 Perhaps perspective from the opposite side can help. I like JS but I'm not a fan of Python. For me, the syntax of Python is just really weird and totally unlike C, and relying on indentation for correct running of code freaks me a out a bit (even though I always fanatically indent my code correctly anyway).

Y’all are smoking some good stuff. WASM currently requires JavaScript to bootstrap, and has no direct access to the DOM. JS is fine. It’s the developers who are the issue. If you need a strongly typed language look into TypeScript.

Slight correction. At 1:58 and 2:24, you show the Racket logo when talking about Scheme. Racket is an academic dialect of Scheme that was just released in 1995, and was definitely not what Brendan Eich was basing JS off of.
