I'm sort of at a loss to this.. flash was disliked because of three things, for the most part:

• Capability of ActionScript (which can harbor malware) along with potential vulnerabilities in the interpreter itself.

• Memory and CPU usage

• Proprietary

Does this rust variant even address all of these? Are we hoping to shim flash support into wasm-supported browsers? What good would this bring, specifically in regards to native flash's shortcomings?

Not trashing the project, cause it's actually really cool, just curious why.
