I'm actually glad to hear that. I really scratched my head over why on earth Sun invented a new language for scripting UIs even while simultaneously funding things like JRuby, or having options like Groovy or Jython they could have simply run with (albeit, with some slimming down). The mind share they would have gotten by tapping into any one of those communities would have blown the lid off JavaFX adoption. Heck, even just use Javascript / Rhino which already ships with the JVM (which would ironically be a fast way to port Flash / ActionScript developers over). But announcing yet another new language to learn that is not used anywhere else in the universe? Meh.
