ParadigmMulti-paradigm (procedural, object-oriented, generic programming).Object-oriented, event-driven, supports procedural programming.
TypingStatic, strong typing with type inference.Dynamic typing (ActionScript 1.0/2.0), optional static typing in ActionScript 3.0.
PerformanceDesigned for high performance, targeting systems programming and C++ replacement.Moderate performance, optimized for Flash runtime, not suitable for high-performance native applications.
Libraries and frameworksLimited, as it is new and still evolving; aims for C++ interoperability.Rich set of libraries for Flash and Flex; ecosystem now largely deprecated.
Community and supportEmerging community, early-stage support, backed by Google.Legacy community, support has declined significantly after Flash deprecation.
Learning curveModerate to steep, especially for those unfamiliar with C++-like languages.Relatively easy, especially for those with JavaScript or ECMAScript experience.
