Success story

[Grzegorz Kossakowski]

Hi,

I just wanted to share some good news and thank some people. As many of you know, I work on Scala+GWT project. It looks like thanks to virtpatmat work by Adriaan we managed to have complete language support. Basically, I can compile arbitrary Scala code to JavaScript.

I've been also building Eclipse plugin with my fork of Scala compiler integrated. I wanted to thank Josh and Paul on their work on version numbers. The new scheme makes a lot of sense and works beautifully in all sorts of contexts (including Eclipse/OSGI one). Syncing with latest version of my dependencies wasn't painful for the first time and version numbers that make sense and can be easily customized helped a lot.

Also, I wanted to thank Iulian for helping me with building Scala IDE locally. It was a bit non-trivial to figure out (I promised to document it and i'll do it shortly).

PS. I should probably even double thank Adriaan for virtpatmat, it solved issues with zero work on my side that I didn't even anticipated it would solve, see: https://groups.google.com/d/msg/scalagwt/SMOn7HKPGSg/aw9PA5Zh0xcJ

Next stop: Bootstrapping on a Minecraft CPU!

All jokes aside, this is seriously impressive!

What do you plan next? Any chances to ship this in 2.10, hidden behind a compiler switch?
Any thought about the viability of having some sbt script/plugin, which sets up the GWT stuff?

Thanks a lot,

Simon

I think it would be fairly easy to merge it and ship with 2.10 behind some flag if there's support for such a decision. However, it makes sense only if my fork of GWT gets merged upstream. That's a bit more tricky but I'm working on that. GWT team has been reshuffled recently and I have much higher hope for merging back my fork now.

That's something other people are willing to work on already, see: https://groups.google.com/d/topic/scalagwt/N1mN3RD-1Rk/discussion and other discussion on scala+gwt mailing list.

Very cool, I'm now even more upset I missed your meetup presentation in Züri.
