I had a naive question: can we write intellij plugins with tornadofx?

I don't see why not. I mean you have to understand what tornadoFx is: Its basically a kotlin wrapper if you like for writing JavaFx applications.

the part I don't really understand is what intellij plugins are. Have to do my research 🙂

@jmfayard You can, but keep in mind that IntelliJ is written purely in Java. All the existing component of IDEA will be written in Java, and JetBrains have invested heavily in enhancing Swing to work great for them. A JavaFX based UI might look alien inside of IDEA, unless the UI you're presenting is very specialized.
