I think he's talking about using Javascript in flash's tradition role, i.e web games and interactive content.

But that is the point, its gradually being ignored as there are other ways of achieving the same functionality natively.

Personally I deal a lot with Video on the web, and although I have a Flash player my main body of development is in native implementations and transcoding profiles for Ogg, WebM and using x264 for preview.

I was going to comment, if Tamarin is so great, why haven't you integrated it into the browsers? But in doing my due diligence, I realized that Adobe did give the code to Mozilla for exactly that.

So this is actually about the language beyond Flash.

Wikipedia:

"The project to integrate Tamarin and SpiderMonkey was called "ActionMonkey",[6] but was canceled in 2008[7] because Tamarin's interpreter turned out to be slower than SpiderMonkey."

Ironically, it was too slow :P
