JavaFX, Flex and not default languages

Can I write programs in JavaFx or Flex with other languages (not ActionScript and JavaFX Script) like in Silverlight?

Solution

  • JavaFX can call Java and thus can call any code that generates Java classes. So you could in theory write code using JRuby or Groovy.

    However, I would suggest that is not really how you could should JavaFx (or Flex). Rather you are really using these languages to build great UI using technologies that should be more reliable than AJAX/browser nightmares.

    And that their real power comes when you are able to integrate them with back-end data sources (via REST/SOAP) that can be written in whatever language you want.
