Redtamarin: AS3 running on the command line / server side<p>Basically, based out of the Tamarin [1] / avmplus [2] open source project (not updated anymore) the goal is to develop the runtime to support more native functionalities and other system calls.<p>It is about the ActionScript 3.0 language and the ActionScript Virtual Machine (AVM2), and how to port those to the command-line and server-side and "compete" with many other languages like Perl, PHP, Python, Ruby, etc.<p>So yeah it is probably less sexy than to work on popular JS stuff :D<p>It's not about cloning V8/Node and do it with AVM2/AS3, it's more about providing the native calls, the tools to let other developers build their own clone of Node.js if they want to.<p>It's not about producing a "Flash Player clone" either.<p>Current release is 0.4.1, v0.4.2 coming up next week.<p>This project can do already a lot but have plenty more potential (at least we think so),
if you want to have a "feel" of the project just browse the twitter timeline <a href="https://twitter.com/redtamarin" rel="nofollow">https://twitter.com/redtamarin</a> plenty of posts, screenshots, and rants etc.<p>Skills needed: C/C++ (hardcore level), ActionScript 3.0 (advanced level), both or one of the other, any other skills also welcome (svn the odd stuff like marketing/sales)<p>Github: <a href="https://github.com/Corsaair/redtamarin" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/Corsaair/redtamarin</a><p>related Github projects: <a href="https://github.com/Corsaair/" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/Corsaair/</a><p>Website: <a href="http://www.redtamarin.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.redtamarin.com</a> (need update)<p>Twitter: <a href="https://twitter.com/redtamarin" rel="nofollow">https://twitter.com/redtamarin</a> (the news channel)<p>Forum: <a href="https://discuss.as3lang.org/c/redtamarin" rel="nofollow">https://discuss.as3lang.org/c/redtamarin</a><p>How to contribute: <a href="https://github.com/Corsaair/redtamarin/wiki/HowToContribute" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/Corsaair/redtamarin/wiki/HowToContribute</a><p>[1] Tamarin project: <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20110615150847/http://www.mozilla.org/projects/tamarin/" rel="nofollow">http://web.archive.org/web/20110615150847/http://www.mozilla...</a>
