I mentioned this a few days ago, but it's a shame he didn't look further into Java. NodeBox may or may not be slow but it isn't doing the same thing as the other apps, and like any GUI toolkit, it's easy for developers to make it slow. Spine (http://esotericsoftware.com/ http://esotericsoftware.com/) is a pro-level skeletal 2D animation app written in Java, though you wouldn't know it from the website. Judging from the videos of it in action it has no trouble doing high speed UI refreshes. Additionally there are lots of slick 60fps animations on Android written in Java too. So whilst the article is interesting in a way, I do feel like he just blows off quite workable solutions for no better reason than a dubious extrapolation of a single app to all possible apps using that framework. Heck, he even says it looks nice - redraw speed was literally his only issue. Maybe it's just not using buffering very well?
