A basic functionality missing in open-source build doesn't mean it is far away. We were trying to get it ready by this quarter but it didn't work out as I explained earlier. For 'pure' J2CL experience, we have chosen bazel. Bazel works/scales pretty well and same as our internal setup which makes

Yes, I agree "even basic missing functionalities" sounds scary. And why bazel? It's not even close in popularity with Maven and Gradle. On Friday, March 9, 2018 at 1:52:34 AM UTC-8, Ivan Markov wrote: > > Goktug, sorry for being a but stubborn here, but we need a tad more > visibility: > >

Goktug, We don't want a polished experience. We want *some* experience. :) Is there anything we can help with? BTW, I thought Bazel is already open sourced and you are already building with it? What's the roadblock there? BTW 2: Releasing a J2CL binary would also help, as long as that's

This time I'll bite... J2CL has been - what? - two to three years in the making - yet, there is nothing released to the public yet (aside from a preview to a few blessed individuals). Before someone follows up again with the usual matra that "it is not production ready yet and it will do more
