Hi Colleagues! Are there any plans about refactoring / modernisation of wicket's front-end code?
What comes to my mind: Start using TypeScript for a new code, so we can have type safety on the front end side as well. TypeScript is also released under apache license, so I think there should be no licensing issue with this. Potentially, as a crazy idea Kotlin could also work, but I think TypeScript suits better and requires less effort and learning; Potentially get rid of jQuery, it's not that useful in 2019 (wicket has recently dropped legacy IE support); Potentially introduce some modern lightweight front-end framework such as ReactJS; Sorry if it was already discussed, I searched on issues.apache.org/jira and lists.apache.org/[email protected] and didn't find anything relevant. Just wanted to discuss if something like this is possible for distant future release. Potentially I can devote a few hours a week to this. Have a nice day, Andrew
