No one with one hundredth of a brain codes AS3 untyped except in extremely specific use cases. That comparison would be completely invalid.

Looks like I only added Opera 10 to the chart. It was in the spreadsheets, but I hadn’t added Chrome 3 (Chrome 4 was a typo).

I hadn’t considered using untyped AS3. Does anyone code this way? If so, are they interested in performance? I haven’t seen this…

Thanks for pointing out the errors!

It looks like Safari 4 is on par with AS3, and Chrome 4 isn’t even listed (is that a typo in your wrap up?).

Also, is this comparing typed AS3, to untyped/dynamic JavaScript? What happens if it’s untyped/dynamic Actionscript 3.0 vs. dynamic JavaScript?
