I downloaded GroovyFX from svn and compiled with Intellij and I did a small demo and it works just great. You are right with groovy feels very natural to do JavaFX development. Keep the great work.

Cheers.

I doubt performance the performance of GroovyFX or ScalaFX will be much of an issue for any normal app. GroovyFX and ScalaFX simply give you an easy way to construct your scene graph. All the heavy lifting is done by the underlying JavaFX code and Prism.

But which one have more performance? I guess Scala...

But which one have more performance? I guess Scala and Scala one still nice to read.

Pfff! Static typing for the win! ;-)
No, seriously, I chose to learn Scala a few months ago, but I still plan to learn Groovy some day... After all, I use Gradle to compile my Scala code (yes, heresy! :-D).

I appreciate your estimation of the winner: this "competition" is healthy and will provide nice DSL, whatever the choice of language. Good work.

;-) Great battle. You are right, we developers will get the benefit AND JavaFX. The more different languages using JavaFX the more recognition it will get and the better it will be for the whole FX-communitiy ;-).

Keep rocking Dean and Stephen and ...

Me, I prefer Scala, but thats because I am into it. Others will use Groovy, some will mix it up. I love it ;-).
