Yes, that's what I meant.I know that JavaFX's been using shaders for some time, but I didn't know the implications. Regarding the cross-API shading language, what has happened to JSL?

If you mean write your own shaders and pass them in, that is somewhat 
problematic for a couple of reasons. First, we internally use vertex and 
pixel shaders ourselves to do various rendering operations. Second, we 
would need to develop or adopt a cross-API shading language that can be 
compiled into HLSL and GLSL (possibly multiple versions for 
desktop/embedded?). There are other issues as well, but those are the 
main ones.
