Re: GWT and Oracle

Mmmm, isn't GWT mentioned in slide 63?... Probably comparing GWT to DukeScript, or maybe they forgot to change GWT to DukeScript ? ;-)

Came across this presentation in the context of the recent Java One conference. Seems to be pushing OracleJET more than anything else, ignores GWT (Angular is mentioned), but does reference DukeScript which seems more interesting to me than the other slides presented (similar to GWT/Inbox idea, at least with the Java->target strategy).

I don't work for Oracle or have any stake in the technologies mentioned. I just read over the slide deck and thought I'd share given the context.

Hey just curious, does Oracle contribute to GWT at all?  I know they are in a battle with Google over Java (android), but one would think they could put that aside and contribute as GWT really does encourage Java usage.

If they ever contributed to GWT, that was undercover ;-)

No, Oracle has been pushing JavaFX for building so-called RIAs; it's a different programming and deployment model, that's going to fail miserably (like Silverlight, and Java applets and web start before them) but well, they're short-sighted and have deep pockets so… (just like they've been pushing J2ME for years after feature phones were almost dead and replaced with iOS and Android smartphones; are about to ship "project jigsaw" in Java 9 when almost everybody turned their back on OSGi, and are only just starting to look at what Java EE could like in the cloud-oriented world we live in for a few years now)
