Ask HN: Anyone Interested in Taking over Jsweet.org?
You can take a look at https://github.com/j4ts, which contains some Java libs transpiled by JSweet to TS/JS. The AWT/Swing implementation is just a proof of concept, but some other libs are fully functional like awt/geom.
However, you have to be aware that the initial purpose of JSweet was not to port all Java libs to JS. JSweet allows the transpiler to be customized (with extensions) to map Java APIs to JS ones so that you don't necessarily need a JS runtime. It's all explained in the "Extending the transpiler" section of the core doc: https://github.com/cincheo/jsweet/blob/master/doc/jsweet-lan...

I like to discuss ui frameworks for java backend?
We used a lot GWT with UI frameworks like dominokit or Vaadin. There is another transpiler not mentioned before: https://github.com/cincheo/jsweet It has better JS ecosystem integration and some library ports. I never used it, but it worth to try.

Can you do web development with java?
Well, you can, in theory use any language if you transpile it - that way, you'd end up using a single language across the stack (even if you're technically using JS). An example of this would be JSweet.

Ask HN: Why isn't GWT or Vaadin more popular among Java developers?
Definitely worth a look thank you! On another note, I've experimented successfully with https://www.jsweet.org/.

The Future Of The Web
I look forward to getting back into front-end if I can do it in Java only (which can be done today) ... and not be looked down upon by frontenders, the CSS tricks designer crowd and the highly vocal JavaScript crowd.

Show HN: SnapCode – a real Java IDE in the browser
SnapCode is actually using SnapKit (https://github.com/reportmill/SnapKit) which can run on either WebAPI/DOM (in browser) or Swing (desktop). In the browser this helps slim the download and improve performance by using more browser native code.
For pricing, SnapCode is free for individual use and will remain so. Perhaps there will be funding opportunities from large organizations or for embedding use cases to help provide for the continued health of the product and community.

Ask HN: Tips for modern Java Swing development?
Theres a bit more to it than that, since you want resetUI to update all of your components without triggering respondUI(). And you want all your components to be automatically configured to call respondUI() when there is user interaction.
I’ve written one of these before, but I don’t have access to a public version anymore. I do all my current UI dev in a UI kit built on top of Swing. But here is what I use there that solves this problem:

Ask HN: Why isn't GWT or Vaadin more popular among Java developers?
I use SnapKit to do Java desktop development which compiles easily to JavaScript using TeaVM. SnapKit is both modern and conventional, a good middle ground between Swing and JavaFX. But most importantly, it combines the traditional win of desktop Java UI dev with the ease of web deployment.
