    This should prove to be a very attractive alternative to Electron when coupled with JavaFX.

      I don’t see how. Whole point of Electron is that you can reuse your web frontend knowledges. JavaFX does not allow that. (I guess JavaFX does allow styling with CSS, albeit with hideous fx prefix.)

        I have done exactly that. JavaFX also has WebView component. Under the hood I believe it currently uses v8, but it sounds like they can switch that out with Graal.

          That’s part of the point, but a big part of it is also just targeting all 3 platforms with one codebase.
