Maybe it's just my dynamic language bias, but isn't GWT about 100X more complex than using something like Cappuccino with Atlas to build a desktop-like app?
And won't it look 100X uglier in GWT unless you are a CSS zen master?
Just watching that GWT "best practices" video made my head spin with all the many layers and buzzwordy concepts one has to master just to make a simple GUI.
Or perhaps it's just that I hate the staticness and verbosity of Java...
- pohl 17y agoI thought I would reply just in case you were referring to the video that I linked to. If so, that is most certainly not a beginner's tutorial on the basics that one would need just to make a simple GUI! Rather, it's the other end of the spectrum: an example of how the toolkit allows a large team to bring serious, large scale software engineering practices to bear on something ambitious and complex. One of the great things about GWT is that it offers something to that entire spectrum.
