...Why GWT? The beginnings of rich internet applications started taking off in 2004-2005 with Gmail/Google Maps. jQuery didn't even exist yet. There was a vacuum for tools to build large scale web applications, and leveraging the already mature Java toolchain of IDEs, libraries, build tools, testing frameworks, made good sense.

s ● Plethora of languages compiling to js (..., python, C/C++, Ocaml, Haskel, ...)

● Good and awesome js libraries & frameworks

Closure Tools

● non tutte le applicazioni sono uguali
