Not on the news radar of course, because most products don't focus on desktop anymore, hence Electron for JavaScript etc.

Java should have just stuck with AWT. Java on Desktop has been a mess ever since Swing.

Or focused on improving Swing as opposed to inventing yet another half baked idea to be abandoned, it wasn't a bad start. I couldn't even get JavaFX to run, too weird.

Why, what's the problem? My apps work fine, even old ones.
