Java's great, but if we're building a WEB app, I like a language that can also generate the view. In Java land, everyone is now relying on some Javascript library, and I hate having to make 2 compilers agree at the edges where they touch.
- eastbound 4y agoThe only edge they touch is the REST API. Granted, it’s a bit annoying to map types in Java and JS, but it’s easy through Swagger or Typescript.
- kaba0 4y agoI agree with that wholeheartedly, but there is a solution: there is teavm which can compile byte code to js (and wasm), or google’s closure compiler. There used to be also GWT and nowadays Vaadin I believe to do frontend completely, but I honestly think that a shared business lib with native frontend for each platform is the best way forward.
