Dear Alan In my opinion, if Google would stop working on it, then GWT's future is unclear. It might be adopted by the contributors and it also might be droped after sometime. The problem is you never know. I personally think it won't be droped any time soon, since Google is heavly vested in it, but you can probably understand why the GWT community is missing new comers and "sitting on the fence" people, because of Google's promotion of Dart on one side, and the GWT silence (GWT blog, and official site haven't been updated in months) on the other. As for logic - I simply ment to imply, that if Google is focusing now, more than ever, on developers using Google technologies, they should listen to the GWT community as well. You can search this group, blogs and google for "gwt 2.5" (see also gwt issue tracker) or "gwt roadmap" and see that these interst many developers using GWT. Anyway I Hope I made myself a bit more clear. What's your take on a roadmap? Josh -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Web Toolkit" group.
