Java: "write once, run everywhere" vs "build once, run everywhere"
You can make a sorta kinda "Multi-platform" JavaFX jar, but only for one architecture per OS. Their dll/so/dylib path names all conflict which is infuriating.

WebAssembly Adoption: Is Slow and Steady Winning the Race?
> VMs like Python and Java require huge effort to embed.
As a (backend) Java dev, I couldn't let that stand. And indeed I found out java now offers a tool called jlink with first class support, that will create a system native (e.g. .dmg on my macbook) executable with the JRE embedded. The javafx example project* I found could be downloaded, built and run from its native release all within less than 5 minutes.
Mind you the Hello World example executable is 80mb and takes 6 seconds to start, but I feel like with the garbage we are used to in regards to desktop applications, this totally holds up. I have also read there are simple command line options to reduce the size to about 50mb.

Saying that though if you for some reason want to use JavaFX here is a JavaFX template project that uses Gradle that is ready to go out of the box. The README has instructions for how to use it with IntelliJ (i.e. clone it, point IntelliJ at it): https://github.com/mjparme/javafx-template
