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.

Design Patterns for multi-screen JavaFX applications
If you are willing to consider Kotlin targeting JVM instead of pure Java, I would definitely recommend you to take a look at tornadofx. I have experience with both frameworks (mvvmfx and tornadofx), and I prefer the latter.

Is Clojure the only language you need?
So you can see, there are really a lot of choices but none of them dominates, which means they all have flaws. You can read a good article from Niki Tonsky where Clojure UI problems are discussed. Also to address the problems Niki Tonsky started the development of a new UI for Clojure, called Humble UI. So now we have one more option :)

So you're using a weird language
If you don't mind being stuck on Windows you could use Visual C# or Visual Basic, they have edit-and-continue too. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/debugger/edit... I've worked with the SuperTux C# level editor in the past. C# was actually pretty nice for GUI stuff.
There doesn't seem to be a good GUI framework for Clojure. There was Seesaw but it hasn't been updated since 2019. There is a guy developing a new framework https://github.com/HumbleUI/HumbleUI/ but it's WIP. I guess you could sidestep this by making it a webapp and using figwheel.

Ask HN: Does Java need a modern Java UI toolkit for desktop/web?
Nikita Prokopov is developing Humble UI which is worth keeping a close eye on. (Yes, it's Clojure, but Java interop is bound to emerge if it builds up a critical mass and catches on.)

The Decline and Fall of Java on the Desktop Part 1 (1999-2005)
I've made a few desktop apps in https://github.com/cljfx/cljfx (e.g., https://www.chronos-desk.com/), and cljfx (JavaFX + Clojure) is amazing and makes for rapid development, not to mention fun. I'm keeping an eye on https://github.com/HumbleUI/HumbleUI, which promises to be a step up.
