Re: DART vs. GWT

Frankly the only issue GWT has, which Dart likely does not, is that it requires intelligent Java developers. You know, that language that is all strict and requires you to really understand what you're doing. Generics, oh my!

Script kiddies don't much care for XML, unit testing frameworks, Aria, UiBinder, i18n, hyper optmized JS and the like. To them these are hoops. I would not expect frameworks that really are best in class at making RIA's to be the 'most popular' for this reason. And it's not just the kiddies. To others like seasoned JSP developers, many of the concepts are still new in GWT, and why would they want to change?

So I'd never expect GWT to become super popular or to surpass PHP/jQuery mashups. But I can say from experience that in the enterprise space, where these features are sought afters, it is continuing to gain popularity. We've got 70 GWT devs in my office alone.

Sincerely,

Joseph
