Java There is a new scripting language in development called F3 from Sun, specifically designed for GUI programming. It allows designing Flash-like GUIs with ease and can call Java libraries directly. You can launch demos and get more information from the related blog.

Well said.

With easier Java distribution (now with the license change), there can be better browser support, and Java will be installed by default.

Although I doubt that actual Flash creators will migrate to this, anyway. They're using easier GUI interfaces for composing their GUIs, how does ActionScript compare to F3 and Java?

I hope this also encourages Adobe to open up Flash a little more.
