The number of permutations impose a pretty harsh limit on how much progress can ever be made in this area. This is one of the reasons why I'm very excited to hear that Dart, when compiled to javascript, will only emit one for all browsers.
- cromwellian 14y agoYou can have 1 permutation in GWT if you want, you'll have to choose either 1) dropping support for older browsers like IE6/IE8/Firefox 3. 2) using Soft Permutations (also known as capability checks in the JS work). GWT can automatically collapse permutations into capability checks. The downside is increase of JS code size. Dart won't really solve this issue, but it more likely that it will just target modern browsers. With GWT 2.5 and Elemental, you can drop back to HTML5 browsers only and use only 1 permutation.
