The language is pretty cool, too bad the VM and compiler are terrible.

Ha, I think the language is pretty mediocre (making JS superficially enterprisey is not a good idea), but the VM itself is pretty decent, especially on Windows.

The real problem with the Flash implementation is in the native runtime, not the VM. It just struck me that Flash is a ripe candidate for a Smalltalk-style turtles-all-the-way-down runtime implementation!
