Maintaining LTS versions for a project like JavaFX is complex and resource-intensive. It requires a fair amount of the Gluon resources, but it is extremely important to keep JavaFX secure, modern and relevant.

Calling native AI code from Java used to mean JNI pain or shelling out to Python.
With the #FFM API, that changes.
I built a local speech-to-text service using #Quarkus and whisper.cpp.
Everything runs in-process. Everything is explicit.
Feels like an important shift for #Java.
