Something based on .net would be fine.<br>

<p>Realistically, that's not going to happen, unless one of the
following occurs:</p>
<ul>
<li>Someone reimplements all of JOSM and all of JOSM's plugins
into a completely different program, developed from scratch<br>
</li>
<li>Someone makes available to you a remote machine where Java +
JOSM are installed, and you run it there.</li>
</ul>
<p>Neither are impossible, but both are I suspect pretty unlikely.
Why the dislike of Java? Technically using a runtime for compiled
bytecode is a pretty common architecture - for example, arguably
most current Windows development is done using .NET, which is a
very similar approach.</p>
<p>Is there something that you'd like to do but can't do because
JOSM is Java-based? Perhaps the problem is that maintaining Java
is a chore, maybe because you're using Windows and that doesn't
have a native package manager (if that's the case I'd suggesting
installing one such as Chocolatey)?</p>
