I was at gwtcon last week and I talked with Daniel Kurka ( he is part of the gwt team) about inbox. This is a new gmail app that is launched on iOS web and android. So google even though they have a lot of people to develop applications went for a cross platform approach based on Java. They considered cordova, but because they wanted an UI that was very speedy and also on older android devices they choice native. Java is used across all platforms using gwt to translate Java to javascript and j2objc to transform Java to objective-c. He reckons that about 70 - 80 % of the code is shared.<br>
<br>
So that gave me an idea, instead of using Java as the common language why not use javascript. And build a native UI that calls the javascript parts. This is of course a bit like appcelerator but without a layer in between. That way you could also still target windows phone.<br>
<br>
Why not try out this idea and see if it’s feasible? WDYT?<br></blockquote><div>Could you elaborate ? I'm not sure to understand it. You mean using JS to will be translated into native ? </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">
