title: Language to choose for a board game (flash or HTML5/JS)
body: <p>I am developing a web based multi-player board game and wondering what the best language for the UI would be? Its a board game similar to Go but a lot simpler.</p>
  
  <p>I have two options flash or the much touted HTML5 with JS.  I have to learn both though I have basic knowledge of JS.</p>
  
  <p>The problem with flash is I have to pay for the server component but the UI development could be easier and have a richer look and feel to it. With HTML5 + JS there is no cost involved but the UI development I feel will be clunky and not smooth. This I am not sure. Any experienced devs out there care to give some advice? Are there any particular issues to worry about, look into?</p>
  
  <p>EDIT: Thanks for the comments. I will go with HTML5/JS.</p>
  
  <p>As far as the server side goes, I have not yet decided what to use but want to look into node.js.  May be I need to post it to programmers.stackoverflow.com about how it handles load and concurrent users.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks,</p>
