One of the biggest limitations is the fact everything is single threaded. This isn't related to vaadin and gwt.
I have used vaadin and like it alot, and to build certain types of applications it is a great candidate if you are used to java. I have also used GWT alot and have extended it for areas which it doesn't cover. (Vaadin uses GWT too) Another js pet hate for me is the fact it is not OO based, people have tried to put wrappers around us but they inevitably have issues because they are wrappers. Chrome has a good debugger but compared to debugging support from desktop languages it is inferior The language is too visual basic like for my taste, it's nice and easy to use but if you want to do anything complicated you are in trouble. Thumbs up for closure support, thumbs down for the complete over use of closures. Btw these are only my opinions, you may disagree with everything i say and that is ok. I am in the camp of "i will never use a web based ide" but i have no issues building apps that are designed for the web and work well on the web (like for thin clients). Forcing everything in to the browser is not they way forward. On 14 Mar 2018 10:26, "Christian Lenz" <christian.l...@gmx.net> wrote: Peter, can you tell me which limitations you mean? As I wrote in an other thread, the limitations came from GWT. The Problem is that a Java developer doesn’t want to write HTML, CSS and JS so they are looking for an alternative. GWT or Vaadin or kotlin to js, I can’t understand that, but ok. So please don’t compare GWT or Vaadin with native JS. Cheers Chris Von: Peter Steele Gesendet: Montag, 12.

Oracle will remove JavaFXfromOracle JDK Christian I am sure electron is good, but my personal preference is to not use a web ide. Javascript as a language has a lot of limitations. I have written gwt code to export java to html and you are limited a lot in how you design your apps.
