Re: GWT development is UNBEARABLY slow
Hi John, In my opinion GWT is not for little application ( just a newsgroup or forum ). For big application you earn lot of time because it's easy to build the user interface, easy to test, easy to add functionalities...and easy to deploy. Really cross browser, and friendly java based. I agree with you. In dev mode or hosted mode it can be a little bit slow. But when i deploy in production mode ( Tomcat or Glassfish server ), it's fast, responsive, with full AJAX support. I can display complex UI in any browsers, without worry about javascript, IE browser non conformance. Etc... Really, this technology is a real pleasure. If you have some pb with hosted mode and appengine, you can write Ant script or Maven script to automatically deploy on tomcat, on each build, and test in real condition. In hosted mode, the code is "interpreted" by a dedicated JVM, it's why it can be slow. But once compiled in javascript and deployed on server, for me it's fast. I think it's not a good idea to test your application every 5 mns. It's not productive. Instead, i write 20 or 30 java classes, design my UI, build my server component, and then, test my application. You can really build a sophisticated application in few days. Once on server it run fast. Regards.

Re: GWT development is UNBEARABLY slow
You said "any browsers", so it's not clear which one you use for primary development. GWT DevMode is very slow in Chrome, but it's perfectly acceptable in Firefox. Also, you pay most of the cost up front in the first load; reloading your browser page after making changes is very fast. Also, when you do need to test production mode JavaScript (e.g. for Mobile Safari, which doesn't have a DevMode), you can tell the GWT compiler to only build a single target (e.g. webkit) by including a line like this in your *.gwt.xml file: On Sep 5, 10:26 am, John Wheeler wrote: > The cross-browser time-savings are completely diminished when you take into > account OOPHM or hosted mode development in ANY of the browsers with ALL of > the optimizations on stackoverflow, in the newsgroups, etc. It is incredibly > slow and frustrating. > > People considering GWT development need to know that the hosted mode and out > of process plugins are essentially worthless because once your app gets to > one or two screens, you'll be deploying to live everytime you want to test. > This just sucks for app engine apps which take over a minute to deploy.

GWT development is UNBEARABLY slow
The cross-browser time-savings are completely diminished when you take into account OOPHM or hosted mode development in ANY of the browsers with ALL of the optimizations on stackoverflow, in the newsgroups, etc. It is incredibly slow and frustrating. People considering GWT development need to know that the hosted mode and out of process plugins are essentially worthless because once your app gets to one or two screens, you'll be deploying to live everytime you want to test. This just sucks for app engine apps which take over a minute to deploy. I don't like having to wait 5 minutes for compile/test cycles. Seriously, it takes 5 seconds for a button to click.
