  Conclusion
• 15.
  My Feedback –The Good Parts § Working with C++ 2011 is amazing §  More complex but so much powerful/expressive than AS3/JS §  Useful and reliable STL containers (list, maps, sets, etc…) §  Shared pointers make memory management just as easy as with managed languages: not a single memory leak so far! § Visual Studio/Xcode/Eclipse are very good IDEs § Minko 3 is much lighter and yet just as much powerful § Vagrant + Premake: efficient cross-compilation build
• 16.
  My Feedback –The Good Parts § Compatibility §  The app runs on Windows, Mac, Linux, iOS, Android and WebGL without a single modification! §  Targeting Android was just a 2-day job § Speed §  Native speed on Windows, Mac, Linux, iOS and Android §  2x speed of native code in HTML5/WebGL thanks to asm.js!
