Extending this question a bit, a framework I'm curious about is JavaFX. A modern GUI toolkit targeting the JVM sounds like something that could rival Electron, especially if they manage to get installation right (would probably involve embedding the JVM). One would be able to write cross-platform desktop apps in Kotlin or Clojure for example. But I don't see a lot of people using it, or even mentioning it at all...
- dmos62 7y agoThe JVM is a heavy runtime, though lighter than Chromium. On second thought, apart from the slow startup, I don't really have experience with JVM desktop-side. I'm wondering if we might see more of JVM on desktops when the new low-latency GC engines become usable.
