Adobe Releases C/C++ To Flash Compiler
SnT2k writes "Adobe recently released the beta version of Alchemy which compiles C/C++ code into AS3 bytecode (which runs on AVM2) that can run on the Flash or Flex platform and boasts increased performance for computationally-intensive tasks (but still slower than native C/C++). It was demonstrated last year during the Chicago MAX 2007 to run Quake. A few months later it has been demonstrated to run a Python interpreter and Nintendo Emulator. One interesting tidbit is that the thing is built upon the open source LLVM Compiler Infrastructure."

I believe this goes directly to the engineers over at Adobe:

horse meat does taste good, low fat and kind of sweet. i think the closest analogy to horse meat is ostrich meat. i would prefer a horse steak to a beef steak every time.
just don't try the mongol horse salami. it doesn't taste very good and the meat sticks between your teeth.

Post the question to tamarin-devel@mozilla.org -- all the relevant people at Adobe are on that list, and although Alchemy is not technically part of the Tamarin project, it's related enough.
