03/01/2018, 12:34 PM@carlw Good idea. I'll try to merge those two I think. - e

03/01/2018, 12:36 PM@amanda.hinchman-dominguez Thanks! I think it's time we got a more authoritative collection of best practices, and hopefully merging/updating these two projects could be a good way to get started on that. - c

03/01/2018, 12:46 PM@edvin special meta points if you make the todolist in TodoMVC - e

03/01/2018, 1:04 PM@carlw We'd have to add a db backend to it then 🙂 - l

03/01/2018, 7:02 PMHi everyone, maybe an unuseful question, but can TornadoFx be used inside Kotlin native project ? - p
poohbar
03/01/2018, 7:10 PM@loloof64 Not an expert here but I would wager that the answer is NO, because TornadoFX is a facade on top of JavaFX which only supports JVM. - p
poohbar
03/01/2018, 7:11 PMBut I don't really see the need for Native since TornadoFX is already multiplatform. What are you building? - l
loloof64
03/01/2018, 7:26 PMThanks @poohbar In fact I am not building anything yet, I am just looking for a native language with a good gui toolkit. - l

poohbar
03/01/2018, 7:28 PMWhy the native condition? What advantage does it have over JVM? - l

poohbar
03/01/2018, 7:29 PMstart up might be faster.. then I don't think you would notice a difference - l
loloof64
03/01/2018, 7:29 PMNot sure, I know some use case where Java is too long - l
loloof64
03/01/2018, 7:30 PMJust for example, the "Le Compte est bon" algorith. (The good compt) - b

03/01/2018, 7:30 PM@loloof64 There is https://github.com/vurtun/nuklear but you would have to create your own bindings. - p
poohbar
03/01/2018, 7:31 PMI don't see how the speed of a one cherry-picked algorithm has anything to do with UI speed. - l
loloof64
03/01/2018, 7:31 PM@bkenn I will look at this alternative - l
loloof64
03/01/2018, 7:31 PM@poohbar I did not talk about ui, but of the JVM slowness in general - p
poohbar
03/01/2018, 7:32 PMI see - l
loloof64
03/01/2018, 7:32 PMThat's why I want to switch to Kotlin Native - p
poohbar
03/01/2018, 7:32 PMI wonder if you could write the UI layer in TornadoFX but call into Kotlin Native for speed - l
loloof64
03/01/2018, 7:33 PMAccording to me, if TornadoFx is not designed for Kotlin Native, it is not the best option. - l
loloof64
03/01/2018, 7:34 PMLibui seems a good ui library, but I don't know if someone has written a binding for Kotlin Native - p
poohbar
03/01/2018, 7:34 PMYou could be right. Don't forget to consider development speed too. - l
loloof64
03/01/2018, 7:35 PMYes, thanks - b
bkenn
03/01/2018, 7:36 PMSince Kotlin Native is still in its infancy, you will have a hard time finding a large variety of bindings. If you roll your own, let us know of your experience / success. - l
loloof64
03/01/2018, 7:37 PMYes, you're right. - l
loloof64
03/01/2018, 7:38 PMKotlin Native is still new - l
loloof64
03/01/2018, 7:39 PMI don't know yet if I will get into the process of making a binding myself.
