Why StageXL?

This library provides the Flash API build on top of open web standards (HTML5). Developers who build applications with Flash may have noticed that Flash isn't a popular choice for web development anymore. Some of you probably think about a migration strategy from Flash to HTML5.

What we try to achieve with StageXL:

• The library should be highly compatible with the Flash API.
• The programming language should be similar to ActionScript 3.

Dart programming language

JavaScript is the lingua franca of the Web. The problem with JavaScript is that it sucks. You may disagree but if you come from the ActionScript world you scratch your head and wonder. Maybe Google thought the same and started the Dart programming language project. This language fixes all the flaws of JavaScript and at the same time compiles to JavaScript to run your application on all modern browers.
