/prog/ - Why would somebody use GWT?

Am I missing something or is this thing little more than a JavaScript compiler for Java?

If so, what's the fucking deal? Why would somebody use this? JavaScript is usually nicer to work with than Java.

Google puzzles me sometimes.

Oh, okay. I didn't believe you were serious until you told me that you were serious. Now I believe you are serious. I'm just as serious.

Because it's more convenient to program against statically-typed Java APIs in an IDE like Eclipse, which has context-assistance, autocompletion, and an integrated debugger that isn't browser-reliant, than it is to program against a JavaScript API and try to debug it in a browser.

Also, ENTERPRISE programmers don't understand how to write JavaScript.
