I mentioned Adobe Air to a younger game dev the other day and they had never heard of it. Remembered to look it up and oh, wow, it is still a thing. Now run by Harman but still there. We were shipping a social casino game in it back in 2012 I think it was.

Seems like it still might be a viable option for some.

What downloading Adobe AIR 2 weeks before Google target API deadline feels like each year:

(somehow everyone needs that right now :P)

I recently implemented useWeakReference for addEventListener() in #OpenFL. In the past, it was impossible to support, but modern browsers have a WeakRef object in JavaScript.

For the #Haxe C++ target, there's a similar cpp.vm.WeakRef type.

It's pretty cool to set to null, force a garbage collector run, and suddenly, the listeners simply stop getting called. EventDispatcher detects the missing reference, and cleans up after itself automatically, just like in #AdobeAIR.
