Reminds me of Google Web Toolkit (GWT) back in the early 2000s. All of a sudden Google lost interest and kind of pulled the plug. This technology seems too risky for me to use in production right now.

Which UI browser framework has lifespan longer than GWT?
- coldtea 7y ago
  VanillaJS for one: http://vanilla-js.com/ http://vanilla-js.com/

    It doesn't look like UI framework (templates + some MVC + components library) but more like set of small helper libs for JS.

      This is satire, VanillaJS is literally JavaScript. The import file is empty.

Another way to think about it is that most web developers outside Google lost interest in GWT long ago (if they ever tried it), and Google was one of the last holdouts. It was also a rather gradual process. The team moved on to j2cl, but there are still occasional commits: https://gwt.googlesource.com/gwt.git/+log/refs/heads/master https://gwt.googlesource.com/gwt.git/+log/refs/heads/master
