There is also a lot of companies that have abandoned all of those framework libraries and just use jsinterop and java to js compiler. Vue-GWT seems successful. We use react+GWT and find it invaluable. I think all of googles stuff probably does this. > (It's easy for me (a non-contributor) to list some shortcomings, but am I > going to volunteer my personal time to improve things?

I expect that in time that the jre layer + jsinterop library will probably move out of GWT and into their own repositories so they can be more easily used by J2CL (googles replacement java-to-js compiler) at which point I am not sure how much work will go on in the current GWT repo. However I expect work in the elemental2, j2cl and other repos to continue. -- Cheers, Peter Donald -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "GWT Users" group.
