Jacob,
GitHub is currently making a total mess for me of our conversation on
Issue 42, I see stuff then it goes away. Apologies if I have made a
mess of that conversation for you.
Yeah, I noticed that. GitHub had/still having some major issues [1].
Swing is, but JavaFX is now OpenJFX and a separate think to OpenJDK.
JavaFX is shipped with Java 8 at least, the one I was running (I'm a bit
behind).
Indeed. But compared to Qt (and maybe GTK+ and wxWidgets) it is very
much a niche framework.
Why do you think that, besides from being written in Java?
Or it has many native GUIs whereas Windows and macOS offer no choice?
Haha, I guess you can look at it that way.
I still think getting a Qt binding for D à la PyQt, PySide2, Rust-Qt,
i.e. automated with minimal manual tweeks, would be a Very Good Thing™
for the D pitch in the desktop GUI applications arena.
Sure, different toolkits for different needs.
