The first two paint points are perfectly solved by GWT[1]. But for some reason it isn't picked up by web community, even though you can still make really cool web apps with it.

Last time I checked, still a painfully verbose language and build environment, with the wizardry of JVM tuning on top. Perhaps, some day, this will turn into something more pleasant: https://sites.google.com/site/gowebuitoolkit/ https://sites.google.com/site/gowebuitoolkit/
- LoneWolf 10y agoHaving used it for one or two projects I can say it solves some problems, but creates others, when trying to do more complex stuff it can be a pain (can't remember any specifics it was a few years ago).

- diyfund 10y agoGWT has been continually approved upon. Compilation is super fast now, and developing is a breeze with super dev mode. You can even debug your Java (precompiled) code within chrome. as a GWT user, I don't have to worry about all those things that trouble Javascript developers. Refactoring is easy as it is just Java.
