Indeed I'm right in the middle of starting a CSS project and I have 26 modules 
thus far:

I also suggested Kotlin to Hipparchus.  Right tool for the right job:

If you are running a restaurant but the Chefs are limited to a bowl and spoon 
in what they create, I think you will find that the restaurant's market appeal 
will be fairly constrained, and the same goes for the chefs that want to work 
in / with the restaurant.

I think it's better if you and we try out what we believe in independently, and 
then we will see what works best.

It's essentially Kotlin but a lot more feature rich.

I've put out rc2 now that we have some fixes in place there.

My professional situation has changed since I proposed this. Nowadays, I've
been using Kotlin for a project, and I'd have to say that it would be far
more appropriate than Scala here due to being easier to learn as a Java
developer (or just in general) along with better overlap with Java best
practices (Kotlin is essentially a language inspired by Effective Java).
Plus, now that Android developers are getting more familiar with Kotlin as
well which could potentially attract contributors (besides being a hip cool
language or whatever).

If you use the youtube speedup chrome extension you can probably set the
speedup factor to 2 or 3.  That cuts it down to 3 minutes.

Love that thing!

It feels to me that this whole topic has gotten side-tracked.

I think you first need to decide what you want to build before you decide
on technologies.  Are you building a web application or a desktop? Of
course, there might be technology that lets you do both, to some degree. As
far as I know, the only viable language for web applications is Javascript,
unless you want to build browser plugins. While there might be more variety
in desktop applications, the usefulness might be more limited - but maybe
not. After all, there are still a whole lot of desktop based tools around.

But then you have apps like Microsoft Office where they have built a web
version and a Windows desktop version and a Mac OS desktop version. I have
no idea how much, if any, of that code is shared, but again, that is an
option that could be considered.

So again, before going down the rabbit hole of technology discussion,
what is the scope of what the next version of Chainsaw will be?  Will it be
an upgraded version of the existing code base that uses something besides
Swing, will it be something else, or do we want multiple spin-off projects?
