Shumway: a SWF interpreter entirely in JavaScript
Interesting to see tobeytailor (of Gordon[1]) working on this. Is this built on the same code Gordon uses?

I don't know, but I would guess it is, if only because "Gordon Shumway" is the alias of ALF from the 80s tv show.

I actually don't think we're sharing any code with Gordon. But yes, the name is this obscure transitive-closure reference: (Adobe) Flash -> (Flash) Gordon -> (Gordon) Shumway.
