i don't believe it codes .dlls (for vsti) directly but it handles a lot of other things, ie. com ports. i wouldn't expect the performance of c++ but if you've ever wanted to build your own midi sequencer, audio arranger and are as abhorrent of finance as i, here you go.
already written my own 'wordpad' app after about 5 hours! successfully opened, created, edited files!

the main difference between AS and other langs is that you the programmer are forced to have more discipline (i.e there's no formal/automatic mechanism present in the language for "making" a process private or public. however, if you simply treat/use it as private/public, there's no difference)...
sadly, i learnt the "you can ace all your assignments but still know nothing abour real programming" thing in 2nd year. that really sucked. to be honest, i'm hoping to never have to face "real" programming, by getting into game coding -- smaller teams, and WAY looser practices.
and.. i ALWAYS comment and label things. i HAVE to, because (due to AS), flash can't really tell me anything about anything -- i need to tell my(future)self.
aaaanyway, i have no doubt that you know what you're talking about, but.. i say ;P to the business world. it's gross!! i want some damn creativity with my coding! otherwise i'm just another of the legion of IT monkeys.
