This is a slide extract from John Resig presentation. Even if I respect a lot John for JQuery, I don't agree with him about what he thinks about GWT : GWT is not about java. It is about using a object oriented language to build ajax applications. And I think that Javascript, PHP and .NET developers will love GWT.

This document describes the JavaScript Interoperability (JSIO) library for the Google Web Toolkit (GWT). These classes are for importing existing JavaScript APIs and exporting Java functions to be used JavaScript code.

Dan Morrill just published a very good article about Security and GWT Applications. The first part of the article describes the major classes of attacks against JavaScript that are applicable to any AJAX framework. The second portion describes how to secure your GWT applications against them. A must read !

JavaScript is probably the most important language in the world today. Funny, huh? You'd think it would be Java or C++ or something. But I think it just might be JavaScript.

The GWT is one, of course, but you'd have to be a pretty doggurn die-hard Java programmer to go that way. I'm sure it'll improve with time, but the biggest stumbling block, amusingly enough, is that it's not JavaScript. JavaScript is still King in the browser space, and ironically it's like programming to the "bare metal" compared to using a Java-to-JavaScript compiler. So JavaScript what the "real" web programmers prefer to use.
