JavaFX port to iOS/Android status

[Jasper Potts]

Tom, the prototype we did only had a interpreter on iOS which is doable for applications but takes very careful coding to get good performance. AOT would be a better solution if someone can get it working. I also found a interesting tale of a very fast ARM interpreter for Java written in assembler, see:

This link has more up to date info:

But looks like it has not been kept up to date.
