After looking at flatpack, I remember why I don't think it will take off: it (AFAIK) assumes the server-side is Java/JPA/annotations/etc. Swagger looks nice [1] [2] as being more/truly language agnostic, if a bit verbose (I prefer jschema.org), and supposedly has a lot of implementations. Granted, Swagger/etc. are not "write an interface and GWT.create it", but seems like we want to step away from that pattern anyway. Instead, just run a regular code generator over one of these Swagger/etc. schemas. At which point it's just a 3rd party library. ...perhaps at some point GWT is just JS-generation+Elemental and everything else gets kicked out. ...actually, when can we do that? :-) - Stephen [1]: https://github.com/wordnik/swagger-core/wiki/Parameters [2]: https://github.com/wordnik/swagger-core/wiki -- http://groups.google.com/group/Google-Web-Toolkit-Contributors --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "GWT Contributors" group.
