Regardless of what the GWT team says, I do believe GWT as it is now will be phased out. Don't get me wrong, I think the features that GWT provides are second to none and the work put into it has been nothing short of impressive, but it has to be recognized that it is also becoming a rather pain in lower back for Google simply because it uses Java. Seems odd, but I really think the whole thing with Android is leaving a bad taste. I really do think Java will become used less and less for future projects (especially GWT).
The way GWT is now, like I wrote already, will probably be shifted to something else. Dart is all the rage right now and it's nice, however it almost feels like an attempt to replace GWT. Golang (Go) is another language that is very well thought out and could conceivably replace Java within, at least, Google. Perhaps emscripten has been looked at by the GWT team. Perhaps it may be better to use something like that - which will introduce a mix of languages with all the same features as GWT? I would enjoy that. I think many would. Right now, though, I am keeping my distance from GWT. Even though it's a fantastic technology.
