Right you are. Wiki says since 1.2. It looks pretty good.
I just spotted JavaFX Script. Huh. This is almost directionally correct. So of course it got killed.
If you're curious what The Correct Answer™ is, imagine VRML-97 reimplemented using JavaFX Script like syntax.
Its wiki has a link to the Curl (programming language). That syntax is also directionally correct. But is also missing most of VRML's semantics.
There's also a link to the F3 programming language, aka "form fits function". Great slogan. Alas. Looks like a misunderstanding of Conal Elliot's Fran functional reactive programming language.
Oh well.
Thanks for the tip. JavaFX's Script w/ CSS was about 1/2 the solution. Maybe someday someone will loop back and harvest the good bits.
