History
JavaFX Script used to be called F3 for Form Follows Function. F3 was primarily developed by Chris Oliver, who became a Sun employee through their acquisition of SeeBeyond Technology Corporation in September 2005.
Its name was changed to JavaFX Script, and it became open sourced at JavaOne 2007.
On September 27, 2010 Stephen Chin announced Visage a declarative user-interface language based on the JavaFX Script with enhancements.cite-ref-3[3]
On April 8, 2012 a project was created with the intention of resurrecting and enhancing the original F3 programming language, but the project appears to have been discontinued in August 2015.cite-ref-4[4]
