It seems really strange that they hardly talked about the Consumer JRE in the keynote. I wasn't there, so maybe I'm wrong about that, but from what I heard it was mentioned, but not many details given. I know Chet has since given many details, but why weren't any of those details in the keynote? Strange. -James A key part of JavaFX and Sun making client-side Java important again is the Consumer JRE. It seems really strange that they hardly talked about the Consumer JRE in the keynote.

JavaFX Script is *not* aimed at Java developers. Seems obvious to many that FX is aimed as a competitor to Flash/Flex/Apollo and MS Silverlight.

It is better to send the message that although we have hired core JRuby members, and ship Rhino, we want to push a brand new language on people". Really, you think Ruby is a good fit for what FX is trying to achieve with graphics, animation and it's declarative nature? Funny, yet I’m confused about this “Nah.

But still, this is a minor detail and considering that the language philosophy itself is totally different (Java FX Script is declarative.) Ok, I got your point.

I never said it did. I agree there is some truly interesting features in there. Obviously <> doesn't make a language but it DOES say something about a new language written on the JVM, for use by Java developers. Cheers, Dion Romain,

Does Ruby suck because it uses the binary OR operator | to delimit closure arguments? Go take a close look at Java FX Script and what it can do, there are some real gems in this language.
