I know that javafx compiler is open source, but scene graph element isn't atm. scenegraph.dev.java.net holds old version of it. I think it should be clearly mentioned in the article. Maybe javafx compiler being OS makes JavaFX Script open sourced and scenegraph is not a part of JavaFX Script, but part of JavaFX rather? If someone could clarify...

'''JavaFX is NOT a scripting language:'''

{{Cquote|

Even though it is called JavaFX Script, JavaFX is NOT a scripting language (in the dynamic sense). JavaFX code gets compiled to Java bytecode at design time. So, JavaFX is similar to Flex (except for the XML-UI part). Note that JavaFX started as a scripting language in Sun Labs, but quickly became a compiled language (probably for performance reasons). Sun keeps using the term “JavaFX Script” to distinguish the language from the JavaFX brand and to avoid using the word “language,” which would make it too obvious that JavaFX is another language all together.
