Alchemy ! - Adobe Rocks

I was aware that Adobe was doing some research in making use of C/C++ libraries in making SWF applications. Seems like they are done with it and its open now. No idea on how its going to benefit normal Flash/Flex application developers however Flash Platform is getting stronger day by day, no one can deny. Hope all this turns well to help make a better Internet,

Alchemy (formerly referred to as FLACC) is a project from Adobe that allows users to compile C/C++ code that is targeted to run on the open source ActionScript virtual machine (AVM2). The C/C++ code is compiled to AS3 as a SWF or SWC that runs on Flash Player 10 or AIR 1.5. Alchemy is primarily intended to be used with C/C++ libraries that have few OS dependencies. The generated content is within the security constraints of the AVM2, and cannot bypass Flash Player security protections.
