JavaFX was about to be revolutionary for over a decade ;-) First it was availability, then it was integration, then it was build tooling and now it's distribution.
Most of the Java-for-the-user only exists on Android and niche markets (like some financial software).
And while it's true that the language doesn't determine the UX, the different things I mentioned (frameworks, languages etc.) are mostly relevant due to the mindshare, adoption and general availability of up-to-date resources to get the job done.
- mike_hearn 4y agoI don't think JavaFX is revolutionary, it's just a nicely designed UI toolkit. There are lots of markets where software needs GUIs but doesn't actually benefit from anything the web provides, beyond the general inertia you mention.
