So here goes, three simple binding/triggers examples on JavaFx Script and Groovy. The examples are not comprehensive, binding both languages can cover a broader spectrum.

Even though it is JVM language built with Java, being an specialized language for declarative UI building doesn't mean it will follow Java's steps all the way, nor other modern features brought into the JVM by Groovy. The following table summarizes many of the orthogonal features of the three languages, it is not a complete reference for any of them. The "official draft" of the JavaFX™ Script Programming Language Reference was used to learn more about the it.
