Java applications can compile to native code and remove needless bloat via linking.

So when is Electron going to support the same features?

I have not once seen a Java application that shipped as a native binary. Sure, it can be done, but this is a very rare experience practice.

I have seen plenty on the enterprise, done by companies that actually pay for their tools, or do deployments into embedded targets.

Also Android J++ does AOT compilation, as sidenote.

Now that OpenJDK is starting to offer AOT compilation for free, maybe there will be more adoption among FOSS crowd.
