[...] Adobe: Flash Catalyst Looks very cool. Adobe still has the lead over Microsoft. Could Catalyst accelerate past Blend in its first release? [...]

I guess I should really have said it C# an ECMA-approved language to be more syntatically accurate. Neither language is a superset or subset of the other. I’m not talking about a parent-child relationship. They’re more like cousins.

What I mean by “C# is an ECMAScript language” is that C#, like Actionscript, is based on the ECMAScript Edition 3 standard. However, both C# and Actionscript exhibit features outside of the ECMAScript 3 standard.

Regarding C# and your statement that it is a “ECMAScript language” – I’m not sure what you mean by this exactly. C# has been ratified by the ECMA, but its relationship to ECMAScript is a very superficial one (since the lineage of both can be traced back to C). From a language point of view the two are quite different, and one is by no means a superset of the other.
