It says about JavaFX interop. Did I miss something? I was waiting for it.

No, there no official interop with JavaFX.
We recently fixed the issue when we cannot use simultaneously JavaFX coroutines library and Compose:
<https://github.com/JetBrains/compose-jb/issues/17>

Probably that is what the article means by "improved interoperability with JavaFX".

OK then. Interop with JavaFX would be nice to have. Tornado is sadly mostly dead, but JavaFX still has a lot to offer.

<@U015TKX93PD> What's the path to JavaFX interoperability. What's needed to, say, visualize a Compose UI inside a JavaFX stage?

1. We need to figure out how to draw directly onto Surface which should be provided by JavaFX. And probably implement it for each desktop OS (for AWT Surface we have to write native code for each platform, for example <https://github.com/JetBrains/skiko/blob/master/skiko/src/jvmMain/cpp/windows/drawlayer.cc>)
2. Integrate with JavaFX event handling. For AWT  we done it in <https://cs.android.com/androidx/platform/frameworks/support/+/androidx-master-dev:compose/ui/ui/src/desktopMain/kotlin/androidx/compose/desktop/ComposeLayer.kt|https://cs.android.com/androidx/platform/frameworks/support/+/androidx-master-dev:co[…]c/desktopMain/kotlin/androidx/compose/desktop/ComposeLayer.kt>
