[mtasc] is this a crazy idea ?

Hello Till,
    I'm speaking with developers that use Flash Player VM from many 
years and compile every day plain text AS files with MTASC but everyone 
doesn't understand my point of veiw ... it's a nonsense for me.

However, first point was posted by Nicolas and I don't care about 
byte-encoded security because it's not my goal ... often uncompiled code 
should be reversed such AS, as JS, should be reversed too.
JS workarounds exists for your right reasons, but an official VM should 
resolve API problems as is for every VM I know because usually is the VM 
that has to convert encoded code in a compatible cross platform/browser 
way or Java couldn't work in Windows as in Linux and Flash Player 
couldn't work in Mac as in Windows or in FireFox as in IE ... then if 
the official VM has its API, compatible workarounds should be done by 
itsself if necessary, not by developers ... ( and theese are the basic 
advanced of a VM that every developer knows, you too )
At the end, a compiled code should has less debug than an uncompiled 
code ... MTASC has a lot of settings while compile and you use theese 
every day (strict or others) ... really it's so unnecessary ? ... then 
why do you use MTASC ? ... leave the source on server and compile in 
time your code ... it's the same for you, isn't it ?

PHP, that's not visible from users, need a compiler since it was born, 
APC and other are just "cachers", someone has a private byte-encoder ... 
why ?
Becase byte-encoded is smallest, faster, etc etc ...

Well, I've not more things to tell you, bye bye.
