Subject: Pretty Good - Not Very GoodThough

It's a pretty good framework created by Google. But I don't get one thing - why is it that they are restricting server side programming by forcing the Servlet to extend the RemoteServiceServlet method? I think this tool would have been even more useful, if it had restricted the Java to Javascript compiler to just the client side. That would have kept the client and server side losely coupled.


I also don't quite like the Component model of Client development. Facilitating client development using the document object model with HTML (something like a JSP taglib for client side javascript?) would have been a very good choice. By that, there will be very little issues with the web-design. This architecture makes web-design highly dependent on client side java code, which again is not good.


Otherwise, the guys at google have yet again come up with an innovative developer tool, but I think that just like others, this toolkit will also be restricted to making AJAX goodies, and make it highly difficult for use in commercial applications.
