How about GUI? Does JavaFX rely on dynamic classloading? (I presume so, given its XML-driven approach.) If so, would it be possible to refactor it away? Or perhaps introduce a preprocessing phase of some sort?

Great that this is in the works.

Do you know about its workings?

I do not, other than it's based on GraalVM native image. I just know of its existence. I believe this is how gluon is pushing crossplatform for iOS since apple doesn't like the JVM JIT.
