JavaFX is a software platform and a graphical user interface (GUI) toolkit that allows developers to create rich and interactive applications for desktop, mobile, and embedded devices. It provides a powerful set of tools and APIs for building modern, visually appealing applications.

JavaFX was introduced as a successor to the Swing framework. It is designed to provide a more advanced and flexible way of developing user interfaces compared to Swing, with improved graphics and multimedia capabilities.

I have not used any ScalaFX or JavaFX but the pitch is great for a Scala fan. I'm a bit put off by the requirement for a JDK (JRE?) or SDK that didn't seem to be automatically available - at least on my NixOS. Probably a NixOS thing? Didn't look into it much.

[error] Loading library prism_es2 from resource failed: java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: /home/coconnor/.openjfx/cache/20+19/amd64/libprism_es2.so: libXxf86vm.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

The demos are slick so I'll definitely figure out what's going on. Once I have time haha

I'm not familiar with NixOS, so I really can't help with that missing dependency.. regarding the requirements of a JRE, it looks like GraalVM+native-image lets you now compile to native and produce executables that do not require a JVM. Gluon is a company specializing in that, plus offering the tooling to compile JavaFX to iOS/Android too (I haven't dabbed beyond simple hello worlds with their tech, though).
