Ask HN: Best framework to build RIAs?
1 comments
RIAs? Rich Internet Applications? Stick with JavaScript. Flash and Flex aren't currently supported on the iPhone or 64 bit browsers. Microsoft Silverlight is Windows only, which will arguably make your software inaccessable to a large pool of early adopters.
Recent developments with SquirrelFish will make Safari's JavaScript implementation 10 times more efficient and subsequent developments could provide an additional factor of four improvement. Firefox is likely to follow with a similar implementation.

So I have a couple of questions I wanted to ask your advice on: 1. What do you think is the best framework to build RIAs? 2. Do you know if it is very hard to find kick-ass flex developers?
Many Thanks! R
