But it doesn't leave you doing things in JavaScript -- that's my point. GWT lets you write in Java and compile down to JavaScript. You never have to look at it. It's used precisely as bytecode would be. I think there will be more similar frameworks to come.

Doing things the current way still leaves you forced to use JavaScript. How many people here develop with JavaScript because they really like and enjoy using JavaScript? How many people here develop with JavaScript because they have no other choice? I wish there was a bytecode which could be targeted by compilers. To make that work would require all the browser vendors to agree on that. There are existing bytecode formats which would be useful to reuse. That gets into a political problem where both Microsoft and Oracle can be sue happy and someone using just the bytecode / JIT part of the platform without taking the rest could lead to upset. I also think the Browser developers might have misgivings about incorporating such a VM into their browser (a bit of 'not invented here' syndrome). It would be great if it happened. I just don't think it will without a lot of pressure from some big entity. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "The Java Posse" group.
