Silverlight’s niche, and its missing pie(fluxcapacity.net)

submitted by findmecool(600) 4 years, 7 months ago

As it stands, I don’t see Silverlight as a Flash-killer. Flash is mature and still actively developed; Adobe recently opened up Flex (Flash development framework) as an open source project - perhaps intended to keep an edge over Silverlight in developers’ minds. That said, I want to make the claim that Silverlight 1.1 has the capability to outshine Flash/Flex for a certain class of CPU-intensive web applications, of which Fluxify is an example. For starters, you need to check out Alexey Gavrilov’s BubbleMark. The site compares Flash, Silverlight, and a bunch of different web platforms in terms of their performance at displaying some bouncing bubbles.
