Will B4J and B4A written in B4J in the future?
Its funny, if someone don't use its own products, because he prefers the products of others.
To develop in B4J and B4A you need to install the .NET Framework.
Thats an competing technique to Java. It have its own Basic-Compiler (VB.NET), have something similar like JavaFX (WPF), have also libraries for mobile development (Xamarins products). And the Community Edition of Visual Studio, including WPF, Xamarins tools, etc. is free of charge.
The advantage of Java is, that it runs on Windows, Linux, macOS and other platforms.
But to create IDEs it should be having disadvantages, because Anywhere Software prefers to use .NET to write its software. Possible JavaFX is also a little bit slow.
So, do you plan to port the IDEs and development tools of B4J and B4A to B4J in the future?
And if not: What are the nice goodies of .NET, so that you stick on it?
The disadvantage of .NET is, that a lot of libraries outside of the .NET standard library

especially that for GUIs, existing only for one special platform.
And because B4A und B4J are based on WinForms, they only running on Windows.
So, where are the advantages of it, so that you use it and prefer it over your own products?
