Key differences between ActionScript and JavaScript

Characteristic	ActionScript	JavaScript
Syntax	ActionScript is a strict superset of ECMAScript, so it has a similar syntax to JavaScript, but with some additional features such as strong typing and class-based object-oriented programming.	JavaScript has a C-style syntax with curly braces, semicolons, and variables declared using the var keyword. It also supports object-oriented programming through prototypes.
Paradigm	ActionScript is primarily an object-oriented language that supports inheritance, encapsulation, and polymorphism. It also supports functional programming through closures and higher-order functions.	JavaScript is a multi-paradigm language that supports object-oriented, functional, and imperative programming styles.
Typing	ActionScript is a strongly typed language, which means that variables must be declared with a specific data type and cannot be changed later. This helps catch errors at compile-time.	JavaScript is a dynamically typed language, which means that variables can hold values of any type and can change type at runtime. This can make it easier to write code quickly, but can also lead to errors at runtime.
Performance	ActionScript is typically faster than JavaScript because it is compiled to bytecode before being executed. It also has better support for multithreading and hardware acceleration.	JavaScript is generally slower than ActionScript because it is interpreted at runtime. However, modern JavaScript engines have made significant improvements in performance in recent years.
Libraries and frameworks	ActionScript has a smaller ecosystem of libraries and frameworks compared to JavaScript, but it does have some popular ones such as the Flex framework and the Starling game engine.	JavaScript has a vast ecosystem of libraries and frameworks, including popular ones such as React, Angular, and Vue.js.
Community and support	The ActionScript community is smaller than the JavaScript community, but it still has active developers and resources available.	JavaScript has a large and active community with many resources available, including online forums, documentation, and tutorials.
Learning curve	ActionScript has a steeper learning curve than JavaScript because it has more advanced features such as strong typing and class-based object-oriented programming.	JavaScript has a relatively low learning curve because it has a simple syntax and can be used for basic scripting tasks without much prior knowledge.
