Apple is making its own Flash !! – Gianduia
“Two is a company.. three is a crowd” is so well framed. It seems this bus is getting too crowded already. And all the more morbid in a way.
- Microsoft wants its own flash so starts out with Silverlight.
- Java wants its own flash so we have JavaFX
- HTML5 standard i a clone of Flash features
- Now Apple also wants its own flash to its making Gianduia
What is wrong with people. If you like the way things work just get together with one company and make it as a standard. There is no point is wasting money and duping developers, saying “we can make it better!!”.

How pathetic can the market get ?. And if Apple’s story is true then its a mocking question that, if you really dont want Flash as a standard and believe HTML5 is for the best, why do this. And for all those writers out there.. who loved to write.. HTML5 vs Flash, Flash vs Silverlight etc: here is a topic to make a few more articles.
So now as developers, we have a garbage to walk over and as users people have a right to ask what is the game all about?.  When will it stop? and how many plugins  / standards do i have to install before i can browse the web correctly ? Well at-least i would like to know how many more Flash clones are there in making..

What I find interesting / entertaining is that yet again the lies behind Apple trash talking a competitive technology and banning it from their hardware, is in reality due to them wanting to do their own rather than be honest and say they want to do the same as everyone else.
Gianduia is a javascript framework, akin to JQuery, but leverages WebKit. I’m a Flash developer but its fair to say that there are things that both technologies excel at that the other does not. There is definitely room for both in this world. It doesnt have to be one or the other. It isn’t that way now, and odds are, it will never be that way.
Well flash is also based on ECMAscript… i bet they make it so you can’t compile it unless you own mac hardware ;p
Sry, but apple sucks.
I think this post makes no sense, as John said: Gianduia is framework around open standards like HTML5 and JavaScript.
Apple is not making its own Flash alternative, Apple is the only one supporting the real standard alternative.
@David i hope you are right. You can read some of it at

any alternates by apple will be treated as flash alternative, after rejection of cross-compiler. I believe apple feels HTML5 still misses something, which is why they are going for this.
