JavaScript library for JavaFX fans?

[Mark Fortner]

GWT is probably closest to what you're looking for. You write java and it
emits HTML and JavaScript. In recent years as JavaScript has been playing
catch up though, the popularity of gwt has been on the wane. Angularjs has
been gaining a lot of traction as well as Polymer.  But these more recent
frameworks are not java-like. I'm sure web developers would probably have
some better suggestions.
