[Informatics] Flash is dead.

[Mark]

Hi Litsa and listers

Whenever a king topples, a dozen pretenders reach for the crown. (Dang.
I've been watching too much GoT)

I'm sure a new and better animation format will fight to the surface and
dozens of websites will be keen to convert Flash to that new format.

I thought HTML5 was going to be the Flash-killer, e.g.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_HTML5_and_Flash

Flashlessness is coming.
