Any news on JavaFX? I know it's developed independently but is it an even option beside Qt, Electron, etc..?

I think it's a great option, mostly because it can run anywhere the JDK runs. I'm building and testing the JavaFX 18 early-access builds for Linux on six Debian architectures (amd64, arm64, armhf, i386, ppc64el, s390x). I should have the JavaFX 17 general-availability release built this week on all six, too. See:

Would be nice if Oracle folded it into JDK again so it will get more love from developers.

JavaFX was... too little, too late...

If it functioned on mobile+desktop from day one, it could have been the most popular UI framework.
