JavaFX in Scala (and other JVM languages)
Tue, 2010-09-21, 13:41
I think this can be of interest for some Scala programmers.
Jonathan Giles and Stephen Chin presented a series of slides at JavaOne:
JavaFX Your Way: Building JavaFX Applications with Alternative Languages
The slides (available as a PDF file) explain that JavaFX will become a Java API
(apparently dropping the "script" language) and thus will be usable in Java, but also in
JRuby, in Closure, in Groovy and of course in Scala. And, obviously, to any other JVM
language, but these are the languages presented in the slides, with examples / code snippets.
Funnily, the Scala version is somehow the closest of the original JavaFX script syntax.
Which isn't surprising, I still believe they took lot of ideas from Scala (or at least
they have common ancestors).
