I was at GWTcon, and my perception of Juliens keynote and his presentation on JSInterop was, that he used AngularJS to demonstrate that it is now possible to use a JS based framework with GWT 2.8 through JSInterop, and to show solutions to common issues you might run into while doing so.
Which framework you choose if you take this route, depends entirely on your requirements and personal preference. It could be AngularJS or something else, as long as it is javascript based. This approach should make our applications J2CL compatible. I also took the following note during the conference: 'J2CL != GWT3'. This again is my own personal perception. While the GWT team seems focused on doing the J2CL transpiler, and there appear to be a clear expectation that the next major version of GWT will be based on J2CL, the future of GWT seems unclear. /Brian Den fredag den 13. november 2015 kl. 10.52.13 UTC+1 skrev stuckagain: > > This points to the GWTCon keynote done by Julien Dramaix. > > <https://drive.google.com/a/vaadin.com/file/d/0BwVGJUurq6uVa2tpaTRLSzlBMDQ/view?pli=1> > > <https://drive.google.com/a/vaadin.com/file/d/0BwVGJUurq6uVa2tpaTRLSzlBMDQ/view?pli=1> > https://drive.google.com/a/vaadin.com/file/d/0BwVGJUurq6uVa2tpaTRLSzlBMDQ/view?pli=1 > > I was not able to attend the meeting but I wondered what was said about > the last slide: > Use modern framework instead of classic GWT libs > > In the same conference Julien also showed how you can use JsInterop to use > AngularJS from GWT. > This looked really nice, but does that mean that we need to start looking > at AngularJS for any GUI work ? > > I'm just trying to get a clearer picture to decide what way to go for > implementing a new application and I > want to be as much future proof as possible. > > Should I use: > - UiBinder > - GQuery > - AngularJS > - Singular > - GXT > - Vaadin > > This application will have a extensive GUI and will need to be maintained > for at least 10 years.
