I love Java, but I had to laugh a little.
- eronhp 8y agoSign of the times, I guess.
- darreld 8y agoCompared to a standard Electron app, I'm sure the Java version will seem pretty svelte.
- krat0sprakhar 8y agoYou can still use Kotlin + TornadoFx (https://github.com/edvin/tornadofx https://github.com/edvin/tornadofx)
- pkhagah 8y agoIs TornadoFx supported native without JVM? AFAIK TornadoFx is just a layer around JavaFX. So, Kotlin/TornadoFx should use the same resources as Java+JavaFX.
- tomc1985 8y agoWhich it does. JavaFX doesn't do native but its given widget takes a very conservative and elegant approach to styling.
- dropofwill 8y agoYeah, I think the usual approach is to ship the JVM with the app. And last I looked it (like ScalaFX) runs against Java 8, so no Jigsaw to shrink app sizes.
