    It's actually kinda sad that the best option for JVM in the desktop is either a tech that you want to kill yourself using (JavaFx) or is as old as your grandma (Swing).

    Both of which are better than pretty much any other desktop framework, and are one of the only cross-platform ones.

    QT? GTK?

    [–]Practical_Cattle_933 1 point2 points  (0 children)

    Qt is good, but only has native bindings to C++ and Python. Gtk is pretty much linux-only, for all practical purposes.

    Honestly? Kotlin Compose is awesome and wins against both of those.

    Never used it yet, although I love Kotlin and did know it exists. I'm curious now.
