JS frontend enthusiasts rationalized JS on the backend. Now Java backend enthusiasts can once again rationalize Java on the frontend.

I would consider this for a project where I already have Java code on the backend and rewriting it for the front end in JS is a bigger barrier than adding TeaVM to the stack.

I'm actually in the process of converting my own little JS framework to Java using TeaVM. It's interesting and fun

Vaadin has a restrictive, commercial license.

By contrast, TeaVM is Apache-licensed, available for commercial use without any gotchas, limits, or entanglements.
