> implemented as a Java 8 compiler plugin (extension point) Interesting! I had not heard of these before:
http://techbitsfromsridhar.blogspot.com/2013/02/java-compiler-plug-ins-in-java-8-use.html It looks like these compiler plugins use "com.sun" packages, and are not a JSR, which AFAIK means no Eclipse IDE nor ecj support? What does that mean for your GWT-free deferred binding proposal? That aside, I think a GWT-free deferred binding API would be pretty sexy. If one were starting GWT from scratch, I'd naively assert/agree that the problems of "build-time codegen" and "transpiling .java to .js" are orthogonal, and so should be tackled separately. Which would ideally make both implementations smaller/simpler/better. (IMO/in theory/lots of hand waving and disclaimers. Doing both has obviously served GWT really well, so it is admittedly naive of me to assert they could be separate steps without really flushing it out.) Anyway, it's really exciting to see your contributions, Andres, your write up was very good. - Stephen -- http://groups.google.com/group/Google-Web-Toolkit-Contributors --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "GWT Contributors" group.
