AS3 is built on ES4. It is a very cool language as is Javascript2 in which it is designed from. Microsoft is seeing the developers cling to this (coincidentally it drives Flash9/Flex3) and the competition is heating up.

Usually Microsoft just does this to buy some time.

ECMA4/javascript2 is the way to go. Everything is better the OO, the event handling, smaller scripts, ES4 is also compatible with ES3 so what the deal? The only bad part is it supports getters and setters, why oh why start the bloat? Totally unneeded concept in today’s languages, you can have properties without getters and setters especially client side.

Sorry, my bad. I used your point about it being mothballed as the basis for drawing conclusions about Microsoft’s intentions. In retrospect that was probably wrong
