That Actionscript is still a useful language, within it's niche. And since this post is all about finding the right language for particular niches I don't see why you'd argue against it's inclusion.

I'd already made that point by excluding games from my statement. When someone says except for X, bla bla bla, you don't respond by saying yea but I do X.

But you can respond by going "But it's silly to exclude X from discussion". Which is why I have been trying (and, evidently failing) to convey.

I didn't exclude X from the discussion, I excluded it from my criticism; that means I already agree X is good for games and there's no reason to bring it up.
