Great news!! coming from Adobe for contributing a new virtual machine to the open source Mozilla Tamarin project. This new VM – internally called QVM – known to the outside world as Tamarin-Tracing essentially brings the power of AVM2 (ActionScript 3.0/ECMAScript 4) to mobile devices.
So power your imagination to see this as a first step into bringing AS3 Flash content and eventually Flex/MXML to mobile and devices. i must say that its exciting times ahead.
The QVM will likely be what executes Flash Lite 4, the next generation of the Flash mobile spec, allowing full AS3 compliance. In theory, this will enable Flex users to author for devices as well and open up mobile development to an even larger base of Flash developers.
Parts of QVM “tamarin-tracing” are written in the Forth programming language because you are create really efficient VMs in 50K of memory runable on just about any device available today. QVM makes AS3 bytecode execute on a majority of devices that consumers already own and is a key part of the future Flash Player and AIR strategies. The open sourcing of QVM will accelerate our device strategy and allow EcmaScript to scale up and down independent of system resources.
Exciting times ahead 🙂
