I'd like to develop in FlashBuilder and produce javascript analogous to Google GWT. But what is going on with this page on your website? http://www.jaspa.org.uk/wiki/JAS_language It has all sorts of porn tags injected into it.

Positioning it as a new language for the web means you can iron out the wrinkles in AS3. Modelling it to AS3 means there is no learning curve for AS3 developers planning to switch 'platforms', and the code is portable; (development) tools designed for AS3 projects can be used for JAS projects (I am indeed thinking about asdoc, but maybe there are more?) With portability I don't mean from flash to javascript and vice versa by the way. I don't see the advantage of that. The question is if people need another deviation of a programming language. On the other hand, why define a language with known shortcomings when now is the perfect time to get rid of those. I think it might be better to go your own way, and if that requires writing a JAS documentor, so be it. I think it really depends on the final goal of the JAS language.
