JavaFX Script: The worst programming language ever since rotten bread

, ,

I haven't looked at JavaFX thoroughly yet, but in JavaFX we can't declare multi-dimensional arrays. This is absolutely retarded. Just had to write this to get rid of all this JavaFX anger inside me.

No matter how hard I try to convince myself to use it to create cool-effect-fueled desktop apps or RIAs I just can't do it. JavaFX Script is ugly, ugly, and ugly.

And thanks, Sun, for simply ignoring and not including a table component in your "production-ready" marketing-ware RIA platform.

I have no idea what's going on "inside" Sun, but when at a very crucial step of the development cycle of JavaFX, two key members (Chet Haase and Hans Muller) and other influential minds behind JavaFX like Rich Green leave the team, nothing but a crappy and lacking product can be expected.

Oh, and thank you Apple for not moving your ass and updating your Java 6 implementation to 6uN to make all these demo-ware JavaFX apps run as sluggish as possible on OS X. Yeah, I know. We have to wait for Snow Leopard to see 6uN on OS X.

The NetBeans team improves NetBeans' look and feel on Mac

I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw this screenshot of NetBeans on Stan's weblog:

NetBeans looks much better this way on OS X. This also means that I might stop my work on MacBeans to avoid some redundant work. :smile:

New MacBeans Build Available

Thanks to one of our committed :yes: MacBeans users, a minor bug was spotted and filed in the issue tracker and I am happy to announce that a "temporary" fix for the bug is committed to the SVN in build 21 and the corresponding NBM module is also available for download.
