JavaFX! (where the hell have i been?)
A reddit link contained the word JavaFX (which ive never even heard
before) and aside from "where the hell have i been" i had a lot of
questions and tracked down the official site.
Ive always wanted a "better than an applet" capability for Java
for websites. Applets are abysmal. Webstart is great but our Java apps
shouldnt have to jump off the screen and be downloaded - they
should be smoothly integrated like Flash.
This sounds promising but the FAQs dont do much to quell my
very serious doubts about it. Namely:
- Why did you create another scripting language?
- Why isn't Groovy enough?
Are the forums getting a JavaFX subsection soon?

FAQ: https://openjfx.dev.java.net/JavaFX_FAQ.html
(btw, i did a forum search for JavaFX before i posted this which yielded one unrelated result so i hope im not repeating an old topic)
