It’s declarative, statically typed, and uses embedded HTML, so it seems to be a lot easier to develop than Swing. The openjfx community site has some interesting examples, but none are based in the browser (all in window forms), so I’ll have to have a play. There are some demos on the main page of the community site as well.
