Cool stuff. I wonder if and when it will target webassembly

There is a webassembly target, but it is currently considered experimental:

Demo: http://teavm.org/live-examples/jbox2d-benchmark/teavm-wasm.h...

Build flags for web assembly: http://teavm.org/docs/tooling/maven.html

I can't remember a single java app I ever enjoyed using. Why are we going back here?

JetBrains IntelliJ IDEA

I used to develop the Forex trading app for OANDA using desktop Java. Don't know that 'enjoyed' is the word I'd use it but it worked pretty well at the time keeping up charting realtime rates.

Performance, increased development velocity, and ease of hiring: Pick 3.
