Extending Abobe Flash Player and AIR with Python and Ruby

By Michael Foord -

This means that you can (will be able to?) cross-compile the Python / Ruby/ lots of other language runtimes and then run them in Flash. The blog entry contrasts this approach to the DLR which requires the re-implementation of dynamic languages - hence IronPython and IronRuby. The project is already beyond proof-of concept, they even have Quake III cross-compiled and running in Flash. Extending Adobe Flash Player and AIR with C/C++ Cross-Compiler Quake 3 has already been ported to managed code , but this is even more impressive. Whether the Python interpreter can be cross-compiled to run on top of another runtime (with completely different basic types), without changing the language semantics at all, has yet to be proved - but it is a very interesting project. (It also means that Python/Ruby will possibly be enabled only by additional optional downloads - but don...

I never met Michael in person, but we communicated online about all things Python. He was one of the most prolific contributors to this blog during the heyday of IronPython. If you use Python, chances are you've benefited from something Michael contributed to the ecosystem. I will miss you, "Fuzzyman." In memoriam: Michael Foord
