“ We are all rednecks up here. We don’t carry it around as a badge of shame, we carry it around as a badge of honour
— Bob Katter, talking about the Mayor of Mt Isa’s appeal for “beauty-disadvantaged” women to find love in their city.

JavaFX, the new RIA kid on the block

Sun has released a JavaFX preview. Having played around with it, here are my questions:

Will using the scenegraph api consume less resources than a comparable app developed using DHTML?

Why is interpreted JavaFX script slow, when interpreted javascript is fast enough for client-side work?

Silverlight will consume markup generated from any web server. JavaFX requires a server-side compiler, or a precompiled script. Any client-side plugin ignores PHP at it’s own peril.
