The Google Web Toolkit has long been a bastion of Java developers who are able to chant “We don’t want your stinking JavaScript!”
GWT is a lot more than a client side framework that allows you to write code in Java. It is a productivity tool that lets you developer and test a solution that performs well and works cross browser (huge wins). In fact, when I talk to people that are using GWT, the most common comment that I hear is how happy they are with:
- How the application just works cross browser
- How great it is to get a new version of GWT, run the new compiler, and get substantive performance improvements
Why should this just live in a Java world? Today, it breaks out. Google has released GWT for JavaScript 2.
