The whole tone of this smells very bad.
More about Sun selling JavaFX to broadcasters than to end-users.
Still a couple of things sound good.
JavaFX script? WTF?
A scripting language designed for client-side RIAs which has the static typing that you need for "large programs". If ever there was self-serving, self-deluding talk it's Third, enterprises want to reuse their existing Java skills and assets in moving to RIA.. Are enterprises going to write RIA client widgets?
Widgets will get written by small, clever independents. Or more likely, graphic designers who started with Photoshop and Dreamweaver and painfully taught themselves Flex the way they taught themselves PHP. They won't get written by the mass-armies of mediocre java-school programmers who live inside the enterprise.
Meanwhile Project Caroline is allegedly their answer to Google Application Engine.

Unlike many other Java scripting languages, JavaFX Script is statically typed and will have most of the same code structuring, reuse, and encapsulation features that make it possible to create and maintain very large programs in Java

Interesting. Dion Hinchcliffe notes that Sun's had a cloud for a while ... and we don't care.
Must be something to do with Java. :-)
Or Google Reality Distortion field?

My word!
This is bloody aggressive.
I'm going to have to start talking about Google's November Blitzkrieg, a sudden, vicious attack on three fronts : against Microsoft, Sun and Facebook (with MySpace rapidly surrendering and getting with the program).
The article makes a convincing case that this is a decisive blow against Sun's mobile platform aspirations. What is likely to happen is that they'll either sue for peace by falling into line with Google, and accepting the effective merger of Java and Dalvik now under Google's leadership and fully open source. Or they'll fight on, but without any real chance of success.
