Re: Interest in Lua Web Plug-in?

Nicolas,

I see haXe as a major inspiration for my plug-in idea.  You target Flash and Javascript and you are also using native multimedia libraries through the Neko VM.

I want to point out one difference, however, and that is that this Lua plug-in will not seek to integrate with Flash or Javascript.  It will seek to compete with them.  Through DOM integration the goal would be to allow DHTML to be written in Lua.  Of course, nothing would happen is the plug-in was not installed.  On the multimedia side, this plug-in would not target Flash, but use its own multimedia libraries.  It would be its own ecosystem.

I want to learn a lot from haXe and Neko in your use of native multimedia libraries.  I will be looking at your desktop platform quite a bit.

Thanks,

McKinley

This already exists. haXe (http://haxe.org) is a language that can be
used to program both client and server side of a website. It targets
Flash and JS on the client side and Neko on the server side.
