An operating system and a desktop environment written (mostly) in java/javafx, with a focus on security.
- atomicnumber3 4y agoI know desktops and Java and Java-desktop-UIs are all very out of style. But have written a lot of Swing and an okay amount of JavaFX and damn I miss it. Something about laying out with CSS is so much harder to pin down, and the design space (a million different screen sizes and resolutions), and all the technical challenges that come from serving a modern UI over what was meant to be a hypertext browsing protocol and platform. And add onto that all the insanity of JavaScript and it's ecosystem and different browsers etc etc etc. I know the world has changed but the ecosystem you mentioned is one I found to be HIGHLY comfortable. (Aside from java.awt.Color... Eternal mistakes...)
