In theory you can plug any three-way merge tool into git. I’d love to see merge tools that are syntax aware and can merge asts more than line text.

Shumway was a followup to this. Flash -> Gordon -> Shumway ;-)

But they're all dormant/dead. Compatibility is really hard.

Shumway is not under active development. The actionscript runtime itself is pretty good, but getting compatibility with the Flash API surface turned out to be practically unachievable.

All of the browsers have published roadmap updates. Basically Flash will be disabled by default in mid-2019:

The major DRM platform out there is Netflix on Silverlight, and it's not particularly locked-down at all.

Of course there are others, but they hardly matter at all in terms of marketshare.
