JS frontend enthusiasts rationalized JS on the backend. Now Java backend enthusiasts can once again rationalize Java on the frontend.

I would consider this for a project where I already have Java code on the backend and rewriting it for the front end in JS is a bigger barrier than adding TeaVM to the stack.

I'm actually in the process of converting my own little JS framework to Java using TeaVM. It's interesting and fun

Aren't ppl like that are more likely to use vaadin and similar frameworks?

Vaadin has a restrictive, commercial license.

By contrast, TeaVM is Apache-licensed, available for commercial use without any gotchas, limits, or entanglements.
