Yea kinda felt the same, when reading the name and desc. Whats the value of names or terms if we keep reassigning a different meaning to it ? Especially in the tech industry.

Also it's almost immoral calling "a new" project "lightweight" and "small". Of course it is lightweight and small, it's a new project ! Wait for bug submissions, feature requests, feature parity, time, edge cases etc.

Anywhoo congrats on shipping something.

Unless it's Swing, where a "lightweight" component is one that uses enormous piles of slow Java code to duplicate native platform functionality.

Never understood why Java duplicated (poorly) native platform functionality rather than merely acting as a wrapper around the native platform.
