> I know the win version now works pretty well on linux with wine. But the process to set this up is not yet automated (like 20min) and is being worked on
Where did you get the information about it being worked on?
Where did you get that information from? I've never used that functionality myself, but haven't seen info indicating it got deprecated so I assumed it's still supported?
I've heard about Java initiatives to improve it, but can you point to examples of how how Java "is maturing into a syntactically nice language"?
I'm tempted to learn it, but wonder whether it would really become nice enough to become a 'go-to' language (over TS in my case)
