Re: About GWT opinion in thoughtworks technology radar july 2011

I agree fully with Paul's comments and I do have great respect for a number of the authors and have indeed heard them speak on a number of occasions however I do get the sense that there is an element of bias towards native javascript and, in my personal view, a lack of exposure to GWT.. 

I've been using GWT for a over 6 months now and have written a quite complex application that works very well and a great deal of that is to do with the GWT technologies- I'm not suggesting that it could not have been achieved with native javascript but that (for me) would have been much greater of a challenge than starting with GWT and I personally have not run into the negative points that the authors have raised.. 

Giving what I know now (after being exposed to GWT "in anger") - I would still continue to utilise the GWT technology on future projects as I don't believe by using javascript would give me any advantages but I do believe that it would give me a number of disadvantages (across the complete development lifecycle).    

Regards,

Ian.
