I was sent a link to NeoSwiff the other day. It's a C# to Flash compiler, and although it would obviously be better if it was Java, it's still pretty cool. At the moment it's a public beta - so get it while it's still available! I may or may not post up some experiments - it depends if I manage to do anything worthy of sharing.. :)

Perhaps this will make Flash more accessible to non design types like me. It's also notable that they support Mac, Linux and Windows..

Mind you, none of this will matter if Adobe decide to destroy Flash. Time will tell.. :)
