JWM question : is it acceptable to call App/start multiple times, assuming the calls are properly serialized and each previous call is properly disposed with App/terminate ?

This crashes the JVM
(dotimes [_ 10]
(let [latch (CountDownLatch. 1)
thread (Thread. (reify Runnable
(run [_]
(App/start
(reify Runnable
(run [_] (.countDown latch)))))))]
(.start thread)
(.await latch)
(App/runOnUIThread (reify Runnable (run [_] (App/terminate))))
(.join thread)))leonoel 2023-08-11T09:05:26.193599Z
Context : I'm writing a developer tool that is meant to be launched from the REPL, I want the UI thread to be initialized lazily and disposed when the last window is closed
I suppose not :) I’ve never thought about it, actually. Why don’t you keep UI thread?

That can work for me, I'm just trying to be a good citizen
Alternatively, if you figure out a way to safely stop/start app, we can merge it. But it have to be done for all three systems though
