Overview: Jangaroo Language

ActionScript 3 has been chosen as the source language for JavaScript "programming in the large", because is adds language features that

  • address real-world problems,
  • ease development,
  • add to the strengths of JavaScript, and
  • can be translated to efficient, debuggable JavaScript 1.x.

The currently supported language features are:

  • classes (inheritance),
  • packages,
  • interfaces,
  • static members,
  • private members, and
  • type annotations.

All details are described in the Jangaroo language reference.
Some advanced features are described in the Jangaroo Runtime documentation.
