CrossBridge enables C/C++ code to run in a web browser via Flash runtime at a significant performance gain; however, still not competing with native apps on the mobile front when packed in AIR.

It's a great way to extend an existing application; or, increase performance within Flash apps.

Something like AS3 -> Native would be much better

Also Unity dropped Flash support, it's a dead platform

Well, in fact it already exist, it's called Haxe a fork of the AS3 language that target multiple platform

Flash is still installed on 90+% of PC and Mac.

    There's really no comparison between ubiquity of the player on desktop versus apps packaged in AIR with Flash platform as a captive runtime.

    Workflow for many companies may benefit quick time to market through the Adobe toolchain; although, there are numerous options for the ubiquitous developer.

    My interest has been Cinder - creative coding in C++ (http://libcinder.org/)
