Clarification on:

OL compiles an XML language to a subset of ECMAScript4 (or ECMAScript3  
with the more mainstream parts of ES4: classes, type declarations,  
parameter defaults, rest args, etc.) and has multiple back-ends that  
compile that ECMAScript4 subset to (for example) JavaScript,  
ActionScript 2, or ActionScript 3.  So, in a sense, we use Javascript  
as both an intermediate language and as an assembly language.
