    The killer line is of course the last.

    Killing Flash did not kill punch the monkey ads and it didn't suddenly make web pages note efficient.

    Unlucky? Adobe had us writing typesafe ECMAScript, JSX and SwiftUI in 2006.

    The unlucky ones were folks who thought they had to use PureMVC, cairngorm or RobotLegs to build large applications.
