Yes, well I think this the problem: 1) Going on history, it would be a best case scenario for Java 10 to be released in 2020 (but more likely 2021).
2) With JavaFX, we are already "behind the game" (pun intended). 3) JavaFX itself has evolved much slower than its competitors. 4) Technology in general will have moved ahead by massive leaps by 2021 (including our competitors). 5) If the *first* optimised JavaFX scene graph is not released until 2021, I genuinely fear that not only would "the ship have sailed" but, it would actually be way over the horizon and completely out of sight.
