Hi Jens, The problem is not that it cannot be done (everything can be done with a C compiler and a text editor), but that this is the year 2019, and we are still talking about this matter. GWT never provided an underlying up-to-date transport mechanism (there was RPC earlier of course); I recall having to hack up something to get websockets working, some time ago. OK it worked but it was no proper library. Another chap has pointed me kindly to a JSNI wrapper for socketio, which is itself some years old. And some years after JSInterop has been released there still appears to be no up-to-date library for socketio; which confirms my original suspicion that there is no interest in GWT for real-time applications, or really even in underlying network transport. Which cannot be said of Angular, or React, or of other frameworks. What exactly is GWT 3 is going to be all about?
