But that would require a complete rewrite of the app, with no
opportunity to reuse any of the existing Java code.
Both Scala and Kotlin have good interoperability with Java, and you can
mix them with Java in the same project. So we can to a gradual migration.
Or am I missing something?
I have also heard that Electron has been criticized for having a very
heavy runtime (embedded Chrome browser). That is to some extent true
with the JVM also, but I think that Electron is worse.
I'd say we should stay on the JVM. Our options are Java 8, Kotlin or
Scala; and Swing or JavaFX.
