Why was TornadoFX abandoned?
And yet, the Kotlin specific bindings for it have seemingly been abandoned, and have not received any updates in years: https://github.com/edvin/tornadofx

What library/framework would you recommend for creating a GUI desktop application?
Hi, at some point in the past I used mvvmFX and it was pretty nice to work with, but sadly it looks abandoned. So does drombler-fx which I remember looking into around that time. There was also tornado-fx (don't mind doing GUI code in Kotlin) but that's unmaintained now too. All that I could find today is Griffon, although that's clearly slowing down as well.

What are good examples of well written code in Kotlin (e.g HTTP4K)
TornadoFx (JavaFX framework for Kotlin)
- Ask HN: Does Java need a modern Java UI toolkit for desktop/web?
- TornadoFX
- what is the best way of implementing a GUI nowadays?
-
Is TornadoFx should be used in production ?
P.S. Yes, last official release is Java 8. But we all were using the last snapshot of https://github.com/edvin/tornadofx/tree/jdk10 published to Sonatype in the last years. Or tornadofx2 linked above.
