WIth all the advances in browser technology and HTML5 I am very optimistic about the future of Google Web Toolkit (GWT) which uses JavaScript.
My only concern is with ability of a lot of users of IE to update to modern browsers, that however, will not stop niche developers (companies) from creating interactive sites, games and communities. There is already a trend to ignore IE6 users altogether.
This is a demo that demonstrates the potential of rendering 3D graphics in the browser, using O3D, an open-source web API for creating rich, interactive 3D applications in the browser. The app shown in the video is coded in JavaScript and HTML and runs in a web browser. Learn more about O3D athttp://code.google.com/apis/o3d

I think that we are looking at this from the wrong angle. JavaScript is not the answer - it actually is the problem. I mean the whole reason GWT exists is to hide JavaScript. Even if someone wants to program in javascript, it is very difficult due to browser incompatibilities.
ReplyDeleteIt seems like we need a JVM, CLR or other standard VM that would allow for development in different high level languages (statically and dynamically typed). Today's javascript engines don't really empower developers...
Hi Filip, thank you for the comment!
ReplyDeleteI think you are right, I have been using GWT for last couple of years precisely because I don't want to touch JavaScript ever again (I did AJAX for many years before).
Major competition, Flex/Flash is popular precisely because it is browser independent, but GWT addresses this problem, too.
GWT is a nice framework that hides JavaScript and since HTML5/JavaScript is getting more powerful, hence my hopes for it in the future.
