Many commenters here may be very surprised to know that it is very common for game developers to use Flash/ActionScript to build both game interfaces and game logic. See ScaleForm.

WebGL is the natural next step.

The reason why game devs use Scaleform is because of the great vector graphics authoring tool. WebGL is just a gl context in javascript and gives you nothing more than before. No, WebXXX isn't always the natural next step HN.
