tornadofx2 VS Tokamak

I have seen some scattered advice against it, but the syntax seems nice. A port for java 11+ is also available: [TornadoFX 2]{https://github.com/edvin/tornadofx2}

It is great, but pretty much abandoned. Edvin the original author is still around, answering questions and ready to make releases. But he is not going to develop it further. There were some contributions from community to https://github.com/edvin/tornadofx2 but negligible at this point.

Have a look at https://github.com/edvin/tornadofx2

I don't use TornadoFX but it looks like the author is continuing TornadoFX here: https://github.com/edvin/tornadofx2

Another point. The referred Badass plugin required java 11. And the current stable published version of Tornadofx requires java 8. There is another branch that supposedly works for JDK 10 and beyond. There is also another repo called tornadofx2, but it is not maintened. I think Edvin decided to keep with gis original repo. There are other ways to wrap a jvm application inside a native executable, though.

I’m also working (slowly) on native Flutter channels:

But this is really targeted at embedded use cases.

There is Tokamak but I don't know how usable it is just yet.

TokamakUI runs via SwiftUI on WASM for web. Apple just hired the creator of the framework.

You can even make web apps by creating web components in swift with Tokamak.

I am playing around with Tokamak just for a bit of fun and learning, and it's been pretty solid so far! Though I want to branch out and play with some dynamic data from a random API, instead of just using mocked/pre-populated data.

There is SwiftWasm that compiles swift into WebAssembly so you can run it in the browser, but swift can't directly manipulate the DOM so you'd still need JavaScript or something like TokamakUI so you can design the front-end portion of your app.
