A datapoint to our perennial discussion of technology to use for the future 
CayenneModeler... With Swing being old and crusty, and JavaFX no longer 
supported by Oracle, perhaps we should be looking for something fresh. I just 
came across a new "Compose Multiplatform" desktop UI framework by JetBrains 
[1]. It is programmed in Kotlin and is based on Google toolkit for Android. 
Their GitHub examples [2] are not that visually impressive, but I would imagine 
it is a matter of styling. A million $ question is whether it will be around 
and open source in 10-15 years. 

Anyone knows anything about it?
