Welcome to B4X forum!
B4X is a set of simple and powerful cross platform RAD tools:
- B4A (free) - Android development
- B4J (free) - Desktop and Server development
- B4i - iOS development
- B4R (free) - Arduino, ESP8266 and ESP32 development

And I quote from the B4J download page.
"B4J is a 100% free development tool for desktop, server and IoT solutions.
With B4J you can easily create desktop applications (UI), console programs (non-UI) and server solutions.
The compiled apps can run on Windows, Mac, Linux and ARM boards (such as Raspberry Pi)."

my needings is the power of a desktop app with less effort at development in one project with the same source code running at pc and phone.
(like Universal Windows Platform (UWP)) but i not like ms with her short-living products or her opinions. they also capitulate at phones.
i read a linux phone will come soon and i hope its affordable, get popular and we can start java apps there by default. it will be a good new market.
about java or koltin,
it is not the language itself, its the annoying things we meet at developing.
the syntax is not a big deal.

1. B4J apps run on Windows, PC, Linux and Raspberry Pi (with some limitations).
2. Once you understand how to use the XUI framework you can share almost all of the code between B4A, B4i and B4J.
3. It is good for the developer to not be limited to features only available in all platforms. With B4X you can write cross platform code and also easily access native features.
Android, iOS and the various desktops are very different platforms. You shouldn't try to treat them as a single platform.
OT,
@Erel
1. unfortunately not at phone.. except java emulator or something else.
2. everything what save my spare time i will use, sure.
3. its more the question why we can not plug a ps4 camera to our pc.
i will make a survey what every app contains.
different yes, if me try to treat them as a single platform into one and the same project then because to save / economize my spare time.
