Why does your code need to run on the JVM? If I was in your position, I would look for a Gwt-only solution. It definitely supports your use case, look at JSNI and the ScriptInjector.

They make large and complex code bases unstable and hardly testable. They are meant to provide an interface to existing javascript. If your code base is not going to be large and complex, why are you using gwit ;-) - Oliver On Jun 26, 2013 2:16 PM, "Sebastien Diot" <skunkifer...@googlemail.com> wrote: > Hi. > > I would like to make a "web game" with GWT, and have some of the code > "scripted" rather then compiled, to allow dynamic updates/tweaking without > rebuilding and re-deploying. > > Now the hard part is, what scripting language could I use to execute the > scripts that would both run within the JVM and in JavaScript on the browser? > > While "JavaScript" would seem like an obvious answer, I fear it would not > do, due to the fact that is doesn't support "longs" natively (which I use a > lot as IDs ...).
