AppleInsider | Apple developing Flash alternative named Gianduia

Interesting attempt by apple to develop a flash equivalent. Key challenge I think, is whether they can use standard JavaScript + libraries. Note the AIR link at the bottom of the page.

The articles say that Gianduia is not a Flash alternative and not to expect motion tweens or easy drawing anytime soon. It's more of a collection of Javascript, HTML 5, and CSS objects used to help build Apple-like user interfaces and web apps. The hype comes from a year-old tweet by the engineer who left his prototype phone in the bar.

In the Flash vs HTML5 'debate', I thought these comments were telling:
" HTML5 is already delivering comparable performance to Flash"
" Flash objects are stuck in their own context, and can't easily integrate with the rest of the web page nor other embedded Flash objects on the page."
that latter a limitation I presume not shared with HTML5.

Thanks
Robert

The demos from the 'manipulated' link in the article looked fun. See:

Thanks

Thanks for the link. It is a nice demo. However, the cpu consumption
was not low compared to Flash. Apple claims that flash consumes too
much cpu power.

Here's a little linked verse on the general subject from someone saying goodbye to apple development.

>From http://rentzsch.tumblr.com/

It’s not about Adobe.

It’s not about Flash.

It’s not about cross-platform.

It’s about less code.

It’s about fewer crashes.

It’s about faster-than-C runtime.

It’s about faster development time.

It’s about distributed computing.

It’s about pervasive multicore.

It’s about REPLs and live software.

It’s about software that preemptively exposes my coding errors.

It’s about better software.

The first thing Apple should considering change is the name -
cross-cultural sensitivities..
"Gianduia" is akin to an Indian abusive word that means "bugger"
