Bit of a nitpick, but: GWT enables this, transpiling to JavaScript. Rumours of its death have been somewhat exaggerated (it's maintained but it's not getting that much attention). I'm not sure if Vaadin still makes use of GWT.
- cle 6y agoYeah that's what I was referring to by "not anymore".
- MaxBarraclough 6y agoGot it, I thought you were referring to the demise of Java applets.
- mrkeen 6y agoI bought into GWT back in 2010 maybe. I was sold on the idea of just using one language, and I was wrong. I really regret not diving into proper html+css+js sooner.
- mtmmtm 6y agoThere is now J2CL which translates java into javascript (superfast). gmail and google sheets is written in GWT.
- kaba0 6y agoThan I would rather use TeaVM with some wrappers.
