Line 33:
:I've rewritten that paragraph from scratch. It was rather sloppily worded, perhaps written in hast. Firstly, it suggested the Visual Basic syntax is declarative, with binding. I'm no a VB expert, but does the syntax itself support these things? I Googled around and there's no mention of them. Is this a true like-for-like comparison? Secondly, it compares a language syntax with a series of Swing API calls. The way it was worded it gave the impression that Swing has a language syntax unto itself. Apples and oranges. I'm not suggesting the things I removed had no place in the article, just that I strongly suspected the wording was ambiguous and misleading. [[User:JavaKid|JavaKid]] 16:08, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
::VB doesn't have a declarative syntax, no. In the background, there's some vaguely declarative stuff for building forms, but nobody ever modifies these files manually, you purely use the IDE. VB is a functional and OO language really. [[User:EAi|EAi]] 02:44, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
== List of other Java scripting languages necessary? ==
Is it really relevant to have the likes of BeanShell, Jython and JRuby (not to mention Ajax) in the 'See also' section? What relationship do they have with JavaFX which makes them worthy of note here? JavaFX and JavaFX Script are '___domain specific', and not general purpose tools. Before the list starts to grow to include every possible variation of scripting language, perhaps it should be pruned to just direct competitors and closely related technologies (eg: Swing is just about okay IMHO) ???
