Well, if your interest is mainly in the future “cross platform king” of
languages, you might just want to have a look at Kotlin and Kotlin/Native.
Oh, and I have heard you can develop JavaFX apps with Kotlin too!

Stephen,
1. Swift and your "crystal ball" view of its spectacular success in the
future has nothing whatsoever to do with making contributing to JavaFX
easier.
2. Like everyone else who already wants to contribute to JavaFX, we don't
need someone to provide us with "a compelling story as to why d
John,
The point I am making is that Swift is catching up as a cross platform

Hi Chris,
I'm more than happy to keep the community JavaFX build server at
chriswhocodes.com running and host JDK 8/9/10/n + FX builds there.
At the moment it's mostly used by the Raspberry Pi community to grab
JavaFX overlays for JDK8 on ARM.
I can also build and host OSX and Windows builds t

community and don’t know much history other than a couple weeks of bug fix
messages flying by.
I am not even clear of what our role and purpose is supposed to be. Are we
here for only bug fixes, and follow the di
