Oracle to Discontinue JavaFX Script; Will Use Java API
- BonoboBoner 16y agoWhile I am happy that this overdue step has finally been taken, I dont think the unfamiliar syntax has been JavaFX's main problem, which means, that its failure wont be overturned by this decision. People would have adapted to JavaFX-Script, if creating a stunning, fast and lightweight, instant and visually appealing user-experience had ever been an option with JavaFX. But the baggage of the same runtime, that made Applets fail, was too much to overcome in my mind.
