Was hoping this meant the resurrection of JavaFxScript/Visage: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JavaFX_Script#Syntax

Sierra 1.0 and 1.1 actually took a similar approach - trying to create a DSL based on the standard layout managers.

However, I ultimately found that approach too limiting and went with custom layout managers for version 1.2.
