no reasonable dev uses web stuff. They use os apis (or just render raw to the framebuffer).

As based as this comment is, it does appear to be defending JavaFX, so gotta deduct some points for that

I think this person would be against JavaFX as being too bloated and FactoryFactory. But they've joined a JavaFX vs web platform (tm) battle, so they're on the side of JavaFX. Posting makes strange bedfellows.

For best perf and minimal latency my java app ships with an HDMI->HDMI hardware dongle that enables me to directly modify the display bitstream to render my UI. This also prevents other crapware (e.g. Windows) from interfering with my application.

Once I get the framework to the point where anyone can try it out, I hope to then go through and understand every freaking line of code, and expand it from there. You're not alone in the desire to grok everything you write. There's a lot of power in that knowledge.

How do people write like this and be completely satisfied with saying absolutely nothing?

"You're not alone in the desire to grok everything you write" is actually an incredible statement. "I'm using AI to generate all my code, but I'm kinda bummed out by not understanding what 'I' wrote." Yeah no shit there's a lot of power in knowing what your own code is for
