Yeah java isn't really used for Consumer apps and this is one of the reasons. The ones that do evade this problem by bundeling their own JVM.

- thfuran 3y agoNo, consumer java desktop applications were already uncommon when java 9 came out.

I just don't work in the webspace and I need to write code that's relatively performant b/c it involves some numbercrunching. I understand it's all possible with Electron.. but it's a bit daunting to have a client-server web stack and multiple languages with some stuff in a local backend.. It's all a bit beyond me JavaFX was a nice solution that's crossplatform and near-native. It has a very nice react-like library in Clojure called `cljfx` https://github.com/cljfx/cljfx/ https://github.com/cljfx/cljfx/
