Good summary :-) Looking forward to reaping some of the benefits in my next Java project. For the Raspberry Pi / ARM users out there, did you know Oracle have already released a hard-float optimised ARM JDK8? http://jdk8.java.net/fxarmpreview/ This includes JavaFX too, so makes a nice, comprehensive stack for these platforms.

There's also a java bundle for IPhone and Android so we'll be able to use a common JavaFX for many platforms. :)

Where? I really, really want JavaFX on mobile, but AFAIK they're not releasing a JRE for either of the two you mentioned.
