Anyone know how performant (this version of) Shoes is? I'm guessing with the port to Java it's just as performant as any JVM based application can be? Additionally, has anyone used it for more complex applications or UIs? I'm just curious how easy it is to customize. Could be a nice alternative to Electron as I prefer Ruby to JS and Rust doesn't seem to have great UI support yet (from what I can tell, which is admittedly not much).

> just as performant as any JVM based application can be? I know this is not meant to be a leading statement or a subtle dig, but it's left open enough for interpretation that I think it's probably why you got downvoted. If you want to get performance out of your Ruby application and it needs to be multi-threaded, I think you usually switch to jruby. I've never had to do that, this is just what I've heard... how I personally read your statement is basically the opposite, as in "JVM is dragging you down, man" - whether that interpretation is warranted or not is left as an exercise for the reader I am really not a fan of drive-by downvoters, by the way...
