I fear you're right. I get the same feeling, for the reasons you mentioned. It's too bad, because Dart, while an improvement over straight JS, brings - for me - the worst parts of JS (dynamic typing) and Java (unhelpful verbosity) though with some welcome improvements to structure-ability and defining anonymous functions. Scala-GWT is getting quite close to a first release. It's a long shot, but I hope it takes off. Scala is extremely well-suited to cutting out huge amounts of ui-callback boilerplate without sacrificing any type-safety. > 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.
