I totally agree with this! Oracle still spends time and money promoting Java client, and the browser is now the largest client platform. They could really revitalize Java client by backing CheerpJ.


I need to check out the tailscale solution, although CheerpJ also makes it trivial to plug in a proxy server, which I currently do in my app that supports cross origin.


I use CheerpJ to do new development that is spectacularly cross-platform, runs native on all the major platforms and everywhere else in the browser with a single code base. I don't think there are too many alternatives for that and I suspect Java + CheerpJ is one of the best.

This is really great! Thanks for sharing.



And here's an entire Java IDE with CheerpJ that downloads less than 15mb:

It seems obvious that elon hasn't even showed up for work in years. His only real tesla-related effort has been to try to strong-arm an illegal 50B pay package. The board should be replaced for negligence and he should be fired for malfeasance and fraud. I'll bet the stock would jump 10%+ overnight.

The idea that he's the richest man in the world is a joke. Half his rapidly declining wealth is based on SpaceX, a "360B" company with no profit and < 12B in revenue that blows up and burns up its own products more often than not.


Elon asked for $50 billion in pay. Tesla's TOTAL lifetime earnings as a company is $35.2 billion. $10 billion of that is selling 'credits'. $600 million of that was Bitcoin gains.

Tesla is a 'battery company' but at Gigafactory Panasonic makes batteries on Panasonic owned/operated lines that just lease space from Tesla.

Yet somehow this is a 'real' company.


Don't forget designing the Cybertruck and nixing a cheap car in favor of robotaxis.


> that blows up and burns up its own products more often than not

This false. SpaceX’s current product is Falcon 9/Heavy which “blows up and burns up” very rarely.

Starship isn’t actually a product yet, it is an R&D program. If 50% of the test flights on an R&D program fail, that doesn’t tell us anything about the reliability of the finished commercial product. Absolute worst case scenario, Starship never works and is cancelled-SpaceX will have wasted billions but still have a market-dominating product with Falcon. And, despite the recent setbacks, it seems unlikely the worst case scenario will actually happen. More likely outcome is Starship is delayed and burns up billions more in R&D but eventually they get it to work as promised.

Does he care? He has a new source of revenue, the U.S. Treasury. Fort Knox soon.

Is he working for Tesla at all anymore?

Whats the current stance on remote work? Is it now OK because he wants to do it? Such a hypocrite.


He also fired the entire Supercharger team to make a point to Rebecca Tinucci. But yeah, those are the two contributions I can think of.


Nice post! Makes a good case for getting/keeping java in the classroom.

Be sure and check out SnapCode: https://reportmill.com/SnapCode . It also offers a lot of ‘paving the onramp’ features.


I'm a huge fan of JDeploy - deployment used to be my biggest headache. Now I just run 'jdeploy' in the command line, change the version in the UI app and hit the 'Publish' button.

That may be the wrong question, though that might help avoid the sunk cost fallacy ("It's better to burn out, than fade away!"). On the other hand, sticking with things has its benefits, with an eye towards a pivot. The right question may have more to do with speed than scale. Best to try and find partners in your endeavor. Then you can succeed or fail twice as fast, and try more things. And have more fun along the way.
