Say goodbye to Java, it’s time for JavaFX now!

An email in my inbox from TheServerSide tells me that the Java language is dying, but the Java platform is still alive and strong. This simply tells me that the Java’s kind of syntax such as strong typing, inheritance, endless lines of coding and those hassle dealing with Object Oriented stuff are simply out of date, which failed to meet the productivity of today’s fast growing need. As a platform, Java is still robust, no doubt there are tons of frameworks and platform were built using Java. But due to the complexity of its syntax and those millions lines of coding to make up a pretty small app but with rich content, it will not remain as a choice for developer. So, the answer by Sun Microsystem to the Java language is JavaFX, its new baby. JavaFX is the scripting variant of Java, which is said to have much simpler syntax that allows much more rapid productivity for developing content and media rich applications to meet today’s requirement! Of course, JavaFX will not lose those advantages that have been well established by Java, such as Write Once, Run Anywhere.
