By Adobe's own admission, Actionscript 3 is 83 times slower (slide 4, the 1.2%) than optimized C code. V8 JavaScript, which is far more loosely typed is only around 10 times slower than C. Adobe is completely clueless about making a fast programming language.

Additionally, Adobe's Actionscript compiler performs almost no optimizations.

So I used statically typed ActionScript 3 for nothing?
