Thank you for filing this enhancement request. As an enhancement it
should be discussed on this list before proceeding with a pull request
(although a "WIP" or Draft PR can be used to illustrate the concept).
For my part, this seems like a reasonable enhancement, as long as there
are no compatibility issues, but it would be good to hear from
application developers who heavily use FXML.

Just filed a RFE with the following information:
* Component:
o JavaFX
* Subcomponent:
o fxml: JavaFX FXML
* Synopsis:
o "FXMLLoader: if script engines implement javax.script.Compilabel compile
scripts"
* Descriptions:
o "FXMLLoader is able to execute scripts in Java script languages
(javax.script.ScriptEngine
implementations) if such a Java script language gets defined as the
controller language in
the FXML file.
If a script engine implements the javax.script.Compilable interface,
then such scripts could
be compiled and the resulting javax.script.CompiledScript could be
executed instead using
its eval() methods.
Evaluating the CompiledScript objects may help speed up the execution
of script invocations,
especially for scripts defined for event attributes in FXML elements
(e.g. like onMouseMove)
which may be repetitevly invoked and evaluated."
* System /OS/Java Runtime Information:
o "All systems."
