Thank you for all your hard work, but after almost thirty years as a Java developer I've finally given up and started to study Rust in order to have a language that I can actually compile and deploy an app without doing absurd incarnations and compromises. Unfortunately Rust seems to have heavily embraced "let's make this as cryptic as possible so the learning curve is absurdly steep".
Unfortunately, a few years ago, my employer took a negative attitude toward Java and all the difficulties in deploying. So I've been pushed into C# and now Python (a language truly designed to write bugs!). Java is the "best" language (not perfect but better than anything else) EXCEPT for deployment!

I hear ya. I have always been bewildered at how difficult it was to deploy a simple .app
If you ever decide to come back Java, jDeploy will be here for you.
