JavaScript library for JavaFX fans?

[Jeff Martin]

You’re spot on, Mark. I need to do a little lightweight-in-the-browser-without-the-JVM development, and as a long-time Swing/JavaFX developer, I don’t want my fingers/brain to bleed too much. :-)

The JavaScript world doesn’t seem as cut-and-dried as Java, iOS, Android development. I’m hoping there’s a popular and capable standard for people who come from the Java world.
