Hi,

On the JsInterop front...

I believe I have done my homework and look around for the JsInterop and found some presentations and went through them.

Right now I am depending on some js libraries (D3, hopscotch) etc. They have gwt wrappers like gwt-d3 and gwt-tour but maintaining a wrapper has its costs also. I mean when the js library updates and it is desynchronized from the wrapper .

The same would be true if you used TypeScript instead of GWT (for example).

For a simple wrapper over a JS library, JsInterop interfaces would be the GWT equivalent to TypeScript's "ambient" declarations.

This is also similar in nature to Closure Compiler's "externs".

As a side note: JsInterop does not replace JSNI, it replaces JavaScriptObject (removing most needs for JSNI in those). "JSNI 2" will replace JSNI, but AFAICT not before GWT 3 (where JSNI won't work anymore).
