This reminds me of a conversation we were having last summer.  With
respect, I think there's still some misunderstanding of the proposed
approach.  There are some obvious classes of application where this model
doesn't really work, but IMO a lot of those don't work well with Swing/FX
either.  Likewise, manipulating massive data models in a browser might be
problematic.  But a HTML renderer should in theory be able to easily render
as much on screen as Swing can do.  The important thing is keeping data
models, etc. in Java and only asking the HTML layer to render what is
immediately required.

Best wishes,

Neil
