see here: https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/functions/e...
plenty of basic examples with execv, execve, execvp, etc.
if the execv() call succeed then it completely replaces the program running in the process that calls it
you can do plenty of tricks with that ;)

what if you need to distribute a .deb containing binaries that target other operating system ?
example: I got a tool that allow from any Windows/macOS/Linux to package a runtime+script to any Windows/macOS/Linux
the Windows .exe can not be compiled from sources under Linux, so this particular runtime can never be distributed on Debian official?

moving from CGi to FastCGI is pretty easy

In Java you would use packages to group together class definitions
same as with C++, C# where you would use namespaces to do that
aka define the scope of classes
in AS3, the packages are used the same, group collection of definitions, not only classes and interfaces but also variables, constants.
The namespaces in AS3 are used to define the visibility of definitions at the class level, a bit like being able to define your own "public" attribute.
In ActionScript 3, by default the AS3 namespace is open, for example with a builtin like Array instead of using the push() method defined in the prototype, it uses the push() method defined in the AS3 namespace.
See https://github.com/adobe/avmplus/blob/master/core/Array.as#L...
But you also have mode to compile with -ES to not open that AS3 namespace by default.
In ES4, namespaces could do more advanced stuff like namespace shadowing (only a proposal at the time), see https://web.archive.org/web/20070629024201/http://developer....
For AS3, see 1.9 Namespaces / 12 Namespaces / etc. https://github.com/as3lang/ActionScript3/wiki/Specification

> The closest thing we had for ES4, was probably Flash Actionscript 3.
No.
Flash = a browser plugin
ActionScript 3 = a programming language
ActionScript 3 can run in other runtimes than just Flash
Adobe AIR is another runtime, target desktop (Windows, macOS) and mobile (iOS, Android).
Redtamarin is yet another runtime (based on the avmplus) target the command-line and server-side (Windows, macOS, Linux).

And yet a good part of ES4 been realistically implemented in ActionScript 3 and used by many developers for over a decade.
And those namespaces in AS3 (much simpler than in ES4) I think are quite a good idea, they allow to control what is visible or not and/or to switch which implementation you use.
For example when some AS3 builtins do not support some methods defined later in ES5.1 then ES6 etc.
ES5 function trim():String
ES6 function repeat(count:Number):String

no, I'm talking about this
[0] does support for socket(udp and tcp)? [1] encountered with problem when Porting UDP socket communication c code using emscripten
one example among other, and so you can use WebAssembly all you want you will never be able to implement flash.net.DatagramSocket

WebAssembly not gonna give you access to syscall that are simply not there in the Web API

well that very same attack vector aka "visiting a web site" is what everyone had against Flash
how convenient to consider that "pretty slim" now

cross-platform but not Windows
anyone checked desktop OS market share [0] recently ?
Windows is 77.1%

Yep, I use Google Analytics
server-side you can track using the measurement protocol
few years ago I did a prototype test with PHP, example here https://pastebin.com/PQCRcJXq
with something like Slim PHP you can add a middleware and automatically track everything, but you can also customize on a needed basis
I use the same logic with different PL on different backends etc.
for a starter it is cheap to implement and put in place, and cover almost everything

Does it support Flash ?

ahhh missing a great effect
where you will be able to find FastCGI Developer's Kit sources and documentations
