if you write a dumb as hell opengl renderer that just renders a textured quad to the screen you can use glTexSubImage2D to set update the texture values fairly fast

can't speak to javafx but swing has weird limitations that make it sub ideal

and swt is situationally nicer but baroque as gently caress and still requires separate jars per platform, which is ibm.txt

javafx is awesome, and also open source. i don't know how they're loving up .net core but i do laugh when the ms brigade is like "write all your apps in c# now! it's cross platform and you don't have to touch java!" as if a host of better jvm langs didn't already exist, plus the out and out superior java standard libs and ecosystem

possibly. but they also made windows nano server which is supposed to be a sane version for cloud use. but they also made mssql for linux which iirc is a straight port, doesn't rely on net core or anything. but they also invested on windows docker so you could in principle containerise your exes and dlls. but they also made reactxp to appeal to cross platform js development. but they also bought xamarin to invest in a totally different cross platform framework.

the charitable reading is that they're such a massive organisation that they can afford to try many different plans at the same time. the cynical reading is that picture comparing various megacorps' org charts where the ms one is a bunch of leaves pointing guns at each other

javafx is awesome

well it would be if it wasn't unfinished and unlikely ever to be finished. also if it didn't use a particularly bad implementation of css, which is dreadful anyway but particularly so in javafx.

there are bugs for basic features that have been untouched for years. the only new effort that's gone into it recently has been to try to limit the number of major third party libraries that jigsaw will break. which would have been all of them, because so much functionality simply didn't exist in public apis. I think there still isn't any way to get font metrics even.

trust me, I'm maintaining a javafx program right now and there is barely a day that goes by that i don't wish it was swing instead.

well, yes and no

all big companies have a non-zero number of windows servers, it's true, but they are typically used only for active directory. i am not kidding. often that is the only use of windows in the enterprise.

it's also normal for IT divisions to be split into parts along OS lines. unix and mainframe for "business critical" computing, windows for desktop and active directory. you can guess which one has the budget, the seat in the boardroom, and the ear of the ceo. (tip: it's not the mouthbreathing windows guys.)

tying your product to windows means fencing it into an information technology ghetto from which there is no escape. your salespeople will never, ever develop a lead inside of a technology organisation that's worth any money, because decision-makers inside a windows team aren't worth anything.

lol no it doesn't and boot time absolutely matters when you use the cloud. it's super rare that we have servers last longer than a few weeks before a new version of a service is released and we tear them down and spin up new ones

as a follow-up: the reason windows guys are mouthbreathers is the division problem mentioned earlier. anyone with a loving brain can see that the ticket to increased salary, increased responsibility, and a more prestigious role inside the company is to get the gently caress away from windows

typically, the only people left inside of the active directory and desktop teams are people too stupid or useless to get transferred to anything else

I have bad opinions- 3 minutes to start up a linux vm in the cloud isn't a problem.

edit: extra bad opinions:

What sort of programming do you do where data structures matter? I've been working in high level languages for my entire career so I've only run into algorithms as a bottleneck when it was literally a problem of stupidly nesting loops.

windows definitely boots faster than Linux unless you're talking about 2008 or something. 2016 is fast as hell. also boot time shouldn't matter if your load balancing is set up correctly.

the only linux i ever saw was blackbox appliances. windows is easy to admin and patch en masse so its never going to disappear from enterprise servers ever.

it really is, because multi-minute startups push complexity up the stack for infrastructure that runs on top of it. driving down inefficiency here will enable new business cases that were economically unfeasible with warm pooling and will also simplify the design of existing systems that do pool resources.
