What is the problem with Java??, as long use the open one it's fine. I think right now it's better Java than Electron apps, that is a total allien on desktop's world.

It isn't 0.2 if it's production ready...

No problem with Java but once it is related to KDE I dont see why to choose Java.

He used Java probably because it must be what he is the most proficient at. I don't think it was to do a ideological statement...

Yeah, people just like to complain. If they want to write something using another tool, they're free to do so... but of course, they won't.

I wonder what the value proposition over Telepathy is.

versioning nazi detected.

Really, it's just a number. There is no rule that states that version 1.0 means the software is stable.

Well, I haven't tried Telepathy for years, and just searched on how to install and configure it and it is turning into a treasure hunt. So, it isn't well documented for one - and from looking at what is available on it it seems to be a disjointed mess that hasn't been kept up-to-date in a timely manner. You're better off just installing the native Telegram client. It's extremely simple to install, use and is constantly updated and improved.
