--------------------------------------

             Summary: Flex-Falcon
                 Key: FLEX-33634
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLEX-33634
             Project: Apache Flex
          Issue Type: Wish
          Components: Performance: Compiler
    Affects Versions: Apache Flex 4.11.0
         Environment: The Desktop and the Tablet.
            Reporter: J. Terry Corbet


If this is not the right place for this request, please tell me where to make it.

Alex says that the Falcon Compiler is successfully handling some large test case he has.  The notes on the Git page say that it is 'almost production worthy'.

The notes I find show that Erik expressly turned off the testing of the compiler so that Jenkins would be clean.

OK, you got 4.10 out the door, great job.  Now since it is a top priority, please

A.  Turn on the nightly Falcon testing.
B.  Provide us with a nightly binary so we can help Alex test against our requirements.

I know that you are personally very excited about being able to get out from under Flex/Flash or any dependency except what a browser will provide, but we who have stayed with Flex for all these years are committed to making our applications the best possible with the Adobe Integrated Runtime.  Every time you successfully compile for the JS environment, please give us the same capability to compile for the devices on which we run.  If you move one step forward on being able to generate JavaScript, please gives us one step forward on being able to compile ActionScript.

I think any Flex 4.11 Release Candidate that does not successfully compile our applications with the new compiler should be voted down by all who own that privilege.  Move to JavaScript as fast as the wind will blow you there, but please stop leaving us behind.
