Re: Important videos from GWT Meet-up 2015

GWT 2.8 will be a long supported and maintained branch of GWT. It's just that you can not use the new compiler if you use some of the current GWT library stuff.

Upcoming things like Singular, Elemental 2.0, Java 8, JsInterop can all be used with GWT 2.8. You are not forced to upgrade your possibly large app to be compatible with the GWT 3.0 compiler and the GWT 2.8 branch is not considered obsolete/deprecated anytime soon.

I do not expect that GWT 3.0 will be adopted quickly for existing apps. However for new apps it will probably be pretty great to use. I also expect GWT 3.0 to be a bit clunky at release because it needs some decent build system integration and things like Bazel do not have great IDE support yet.
