Flex

Don’t be fooled by the naysayers and the hype.

Although JavaFX 1.0 is only a few days old, when it comes to data binding: functionality-wise, usability-wise, and performance-wise it appears to me it’s already “no contest”.

For those who’ve never actually tried JavaFX script, let me just say this: any JavaFX script variable may be bound to any expression of any complexity (including function calls, Java method calls, loops, conditional expressions, block expressions, etc).

I invite you to judge for yourselves.
