GWT was quite complex. You had to write a lot of code for achieving very little.
There also was a huge impedance mismatch between Java and JavaScript at the time. Nowadays you can write decent functional code in Java but back then you needed anonymous classes for that.
- adrianmsmith 9y agoThat's true, but while it was difficult back then to write functional code in Java (now solved), it was difficult back then to write class-based object-oriented code in Javascript (now solved).
- abritinthebay 9y agoIf you go into JS classes assuming they work at all like Java/C++ classes... you’ll have a bad time. They’re just sugar around protypical object-oriented code.
