About the open source AVM2, there are in total 3 versions: The tamarin project on Mozilla mercurial with tamarin-central [0] and tamarin-redux [1] Then after the project got abandoned, Adobe renamed it to avmplus and moved it to github [2] and made a couple updates. Later on, they moved it to another repo [3], updated it on December 2015 to the equivalent of Flash Player v19.0 and updated it again on Mars 2016 to the equivalent of Flash Player v20.0 (codename rankin). I maintain a fork/extension named redtamarin [4] which focus mainly on adding native API to make ActionScript 3.0 run on the command-line, shell scripts, server-side, etc. imho FlasCC/Alchemy/CrossBridge did not take off because it is much harder for dev to produce a project in C++ than in AS3, also why redtamarin took an opposite approach: bring the C API to the AS3 context

In Without Flash the current web tech stack might look different
