Why macromedia... for love of god, why ?

Okay, so I decided to give flash programming a try. Around 2000 or so, I took a look AS, I was not impressed by what I saw. Now, in 2006 I took another look and though "hey, this is pretty nice". Thus, I thought I would whip up a few fun games with it. But as I am trying to do that, my rage at macromedia/AS is growing. I have extensive programmin experience in C, C++, Java, PHP and .NET and I am saddened by the fact that the flash platform and AS is the standard in which we must write "real time" interactive content for the web. Macromedia has done a huge disservice to programmer kind by making the flash platform in a way which requires you to engade in all kinds of wierd faggotry of the "Action Script" language to make programs in it.

Discuss.

// C++
std::basic_string<char, std::char_traits<char>, std::allocator<char> >MyString = static_cast<std::string>("dicks");

>>37
So how do you strcpy a C++ string?

>>42
The String object has a .copy() method and a .c_str() method.

>>42
string cocks = "（　≖‿≖）";
string dicks = cocks;
std::cout << dicks << std::endl;

（　≖‿≖）

what the hell are you talking about, OP?

>>43
My professor said that their gay. Is there any other way?

>>46
string has = operator overloaded, as >>44 showed

>>47
What about memory management!

>>48
What about it?

Amazing.

You can actually see /prog/ getting shittier and shittier over time.

that moment when I realized that my programming background started with AS, and now my new learning is almost like a game, where the lower-languages I go, the more shit I have to do to do basic shit.

made a baseX to decimal converter, like a bauss.
