Interview with Lead Engineer of Linux Flash Player Team
What has been the toughest part of porting Flash Player 9 to Linux?
I would say the hardest part is selecting APIs that have broad coverage across distributions. Linux is a powerful platform that values diversity and choice of programming interfaces. This can sometimes conflict with the goal of creating software that is easily portable across different OS and distributions.
This is a great interview if you want somewhat of a behind the scenes look. Flash for Linux has come a long way in a few months though, and we should be seeing Flash 9 landing on Linux desktops in only a few months. Here’s hoping for 64-Bit support… a fact he never brought up in the interview.
