My end of the year goal is to make this pile of circuits into a working analog #synth. Then, and only then, am I allowed to go back to #gamedev on my #javafx #neuromancer PC remake while sipping egg nog. Too many hobbies.

Sparrow is a beloved desktop wallet powered by JavaFX. A very well-done interview that covers a number of interesting topics in security, UX, and software development along with an introduction to Bitcoin transaction details using the Sparrow UI.
The free and OSS Bitcoin wallet, #Sparrow, created with #JavaFX by Craig Raw, aims to help people understand how the Bitcoin system works and make transactions easy. An interview about the Bitcoin ecosystem, reproducible builds, security, hardware wallets, and more! www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mc3f...

Keep in mind that the Gluon LTS releases of JavaFX 17u and JavaFX 21u are free to download and use. We do offer an LTS service (gluonhq.com/lts) but the releases themselves are really free. We don't want to charge people for creating JavaFX applications.
No reason to pay unless you need support.

Yesterday at the event of @amsterdamjug.bsky.social someone from the audience came to me after my session and thanked me for creating the #JavaFX libraries I did create…it always makes me really happy to see people use the things that I just created for the fun of it. Love the #Java #Community

Oracle dropped the Graal JIT compiler from its JDK—leaving Azul Platform Prime as the only high-performance Java option. If latency, throughput, and warm-up time matter to your app, it’s time to rethink your JVM. Learn more: https://bit.ly/47BWKTb

When Java Performance Matters, What Do You Do?
Oracle has removed the Graal JIT compiler for Java performance from the Oracle JDK, and now Azul has the only high-performance Java platform.
