Don't you think there could've been 2x or even 3x as much people working on porting GWT2 stuff over to J2CL if J2CL was released in the first place? For one, releasing J2CL could've made me reconsider how much time I invest in my own SDBG pet project. Which - at the current situation is exactly zero. Or whether to invest time in the abandoned typescript2java effort, which would bring seamless JSInterop with gazillions of .d.ts'd JS libraries without the need to manually code JSInterop bindings...
Say what you want, but 3 months since my original rant that at the top of this thread, the "basic Bazel building issues" of Goktug seem still to be a roadblock and J2CL is still nowhere to be seen. ... and then we had Daniel planning to write a book on J2CL end of 2016, remember? Come on guys, it is Q3 2018 now... I might now agree with Learner Evermore on his points 2) to 5), but with point 1) he nailed it: "1. The backing company backed off but kept the crucial new piece secret - J2CL." On Wednesday, May 30, 2018 at 6:07:25 PM UTC+3, Frank Hossfeld wrote: > > That's not really true.
