Would you say BYOND is more similar to Flash or C++?

I've been learning about Flash video game development recently, and noticed that it is really comparable to Dream Maker in many ways, even more comparable than C++.

Which would you think is more similar, though? I know this is really pointless, but I'm just curious on people's opinions.

Well, I would say Flash's AS2/3 is more similar because of the loose variable typing and the fact that they also run in a VM.

Flash, although realistically it's not very comparable to either, in terms of syntax. Python comes to mind, when thinking of DM comparisons for syntax.

I never actually got far with python. The furthest I've gotten was making this:

Player says Hi.
Program says Hi back.
However, Player says anything else,
Program says lolwut.
