Re: GWT seems deprecated according to Thoughtworks

I'm definitely not blind to GWT's shortcomings and I'm also worried about its future. BUT I can't see anything that seems more attractive to me.

I really like JavaScript for bits and pieces but my tired old brain is helped by Java, strong typing, IDE help...

Also the quality and depth of the "framework" bits of GWT are far beyond anything else I've worked with. UiBinder + Editors + RequestFactory + JSR-303 etc... is what I've been after for over a decade.

Java also seems like a good bet for the 10 man years we have put into my current project. I'm old enough to remember the last time JavaScript was hot and Netscape were pushing JavaScript on the server.

I'll keep reading the GWT bashing articles waiting for a link to something much better. Perhaps I'm showing my age waiting for an obvious thing to try like Java was to C++, Hibernate to straight JDBC...
