just like Lazslo product providing option for coding in javascript and xml, will there be an option for coding in JAVA syntax, (no need to be advanced SWING , but providing basic Components, and a bit of Logic for clientside validation) ?

In detail:
Instead of writing a javascript and XML,I will code in java syntax, using AWT syntax or SWING(no need to be fullfledged and latest swing support).
And finally a tool will convert my java code into flash.

In this way code will be more neater, organized and maintainable.
(just support for java GUI, no need of other API like I/O, JDBC,RMI etc)

JAva language as a tool to write GUI code.

Originally we used XML and JavaScript, but the JavaScript did more of the work, so the syntax was more instantiative, like Swing. We found this to be less readable and maintainable than the current declarative (XML-orientated) syntax.

So right now there aren't any plans to introduce an alternative syntax for Laszlo applications.
