It's younger than the web but much older than the current bunch of frontend technologies. JavaFx is from 2008 [1] Anyway, that's not very important. What web apps never had is a visual app builder as popular as the first Visual Basic for Windows 3. We had some tools like that (example Jwt [2]) but none of them got a critical mass of users. Maybe it's difficult to match Visual Basic's success because Microsoft controlled the tool, the operating system and the language. If this is the case the only current candidate is Google, because of Chrome. They are investing on Flutter and Dart now but making them prosper on the web looks like a uphill battle. Much easier on Android. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JavaFX [2] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JWt_(Java_web_toolkit) |
