I do. Data management and visualisation for local data store. This stuff is private and can not really go into cloud.

Was using Java Swing until very recently. Switched to Kotlin JS in browser, not sure it can count as desktop anymore.

How have your experiences with Kotlin JS been?

I've been considering it for similar type of desktop app development, but haven't dug deeper yet. Mainly because I already have some experience with Rust and have been considering options in this space before venturing elsewhere.

It is good if you want to avoid javascript, it is programming on web, but with solid Java tooling. My main point is to have the same language on front and backend.
