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.
