JSL, if it's still in place, usable and documented. If not, it's GLSL then.

Hi John, all,

This questions are very interesting. FX8 will be very soon.
Due to very limited time-frame,  only fixed material will be implemented 
in FX8.
Custom material is a nice subject to discussion.
Which graphics shader language you think would be best ?
