the 3D stuff is just actionscript, it's still all actionscript 3, they're just adding new features like when they added bitmapdata to flash 8.
Got confused with hydra, astro + AS3
For the pixel shaders, it makes sense that it's a different language. Pixel shaders involve communicating with the graphics card, which simply cannot be done efficiently with a scripting language, so adobe made a much lower level language for the pixel shaders.
So basically it will improve performance? Thats good then.
I hope it won't be laggy like filter effects are on crappy computers (like mine), there's new languages and there will be a flash player so hopefully that will kill the lag.
