I am using var in some simple cases and the gwt compiler did not have a 
problem. I don’t use them on lambda parameters though. So my code is using  
Java 10 but not 11 features.

For the emulation changes I can live with what is available now and get some 
more in a later release. But how does the gwt team decide which are crucial and 
which ones can be done in a separate library ? The java.time API should really 
be considered, the Date object has been deprecated for ages. Right now I use 
moment.js with a JsInterop mapping to handle dates and times.

And yes please updates on a regular release cycle is the approach that many big 
projects use. As long as it has been tested wel, and GWT is as far as I have 
seen over all these years.
