With respect to location/name I *personally* do not care. However, you may want to consider whether people could confuse the "new" RPC with the old one and expect the same things to work. Can they work together? If they can, maybe they should not be called the same and placed in the same location. Will it (ever) do what GWT 2.x RPC did? If one thinks about it, GWT 3 really isn't anything GWT 2 is and the name is only adding to, not helping with confusion... Additionally, your new stuff may be better and only provide "migration and some compatibility" with GWT 2.x RPC.
Will this evolve with "GWT" or will it evolve separately? Does it require hooks or it it standalone? Does it even require GWT or can it be, technically, used with something else similar to GWT? If not today, it may be reasonable to assume that it is possible it could evolve into something that isn't GWT specific. Finally, a lot of people, myself included, have developed an allergy for things coming from Google due to the rock solid record of breaking compatibility with everything (GWT? Angular? ...). While there are some valid reasons for this, there are many more against it and ways to deal with it that Google never cared about (I am not saying it should in any way, I am just merely stating the fact). I am actually in a position to select and start developing a new UI using a technology of choice in a company that already uses (used?) GWT but cannot, with a straight face, tell anyone to use anything that begins with "G" because we'd be in it for the long run, however much I'd like to. As such, we will probably have to select something else right now :( My completely (admittedly, subconscious) irrational hope is to be able to use something like your new RPC with something other than GWT... But that would still mean Java on the client side and, even though I actually despise JavaScript for numerous reasons, what Oracle is doing is not helping Java's future either. Don't get me wrong - things of that size can't die quickly, but the trends and new development may shift quickly to something else. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "GWT Contributors" group.
