Unfortunately, I ran out of motivation for Loom. I solicited some people to take over the project on the mailing lists, but without any takers, I think it’s time we called it.
There’s been some very nice work done in the AS3 bytecode generation space by Richard Szalay (FLemit and FLoxy), and mocking implementations (my original motivation for Loom) by both Richard (ASMock) and Drew Bourne (mock-as3 and mockolate). I encourage you to check out and support their work.
I’m leaving the source for Loom out on the web, of course. I know at least one person on the Tamarin lists has been using it as a reference for a project they are working on. I learned a lot from the process of writing Loom, and I hope that others find it useful too. If you are interested in taking over the project or learning more about the implementation, please contact me using the contact link on this site.
Thanks to everybody on the Loom forums and across the world for motivation, encouragement, and support. Long live Flex and AS3!
