On: Java 21: First Release Candidate

Ever heard of Android? It's not JVM per se (it's ART), but given your comment I'm pretty convinced that you don't know the difference anyway.

I would take JVM every day instead of those crappy web-based ElectronJS apps.

Official Android language is Kotlin though.

Kotlin is an official language, albeit the "preferred" language. Java is still very much supported and viable (outside of Compose).

[winternewt → tadfisher]

OK, preferred language. I don't think that changes the validity of the point I was making.
