"One is that whilst it supports the creation of a variable or function using a currently reserved word, it requires you to escape them using French quotes - for example var >> = 100 - rather than working this out from context parsing."
In Scala, with, object and type are all reserved words. This is annoying when working with Java code containing those as identifiers, but not disastrous, as you can use backquotes to escape the word. foo.`object` = bar `with` baz

Arguably JavaFX's is a bit less readable.
