This is quite serious! The famous JavaScript framework React.js is now available to Java as a JSweet candy.
Of course there are still details to be tuned, and the JSX syntax is not supported (yet?), but there is enough there to start having fun with React.js in Java.
I will step through some examples to give you the basics on how to program a React.js application in Java. Continuer à lire
Let’s focus on two brand new JSweet projects that will help making Java and TypeScript more interoperable.

Recently, I came across this mccarroll.net’s post, which shows how to use the GWT transpiler in a standalone mode. It is quite interesting to look at the output of the given simple example and to compare it with JSweet output. Continuer à lire
JSweet version 1.0 was released today.
JSweet is a Java to JavaScript transpiler built on the top of TypeScript and it gives access to hundreds of up-to-date and well-typed JavaScript APIs from Java. The following figure shows how JSweet translates from the TSD repository and uses the TypeScript tsc compiler and APIs (d.ts) to transpile Java into JavaScript.
With the release of version 1.0, I would like to explore the main reasons why you, as a programmer, would want to try JSweet out, and ultimately use it to program Web applications in a better and safer way.
This is the most obvious reason, of course. JSweet ensures strong typing on JavaScript APIs and programs. JSweet has been designed to match TypeScript typing concepts and a JSweet program can bring the same type safety level as a TypeScript program. Continuer à lire
I am pleased to announce that we have just made available the candidate to a first stable JSweet release. Continuer à lire
In the past few years, many source-to-source compilers (a.k.a transpilers) have been created to improve JavaScript. Among them, the most well-known are CoffeeScript, Dart, and TypeScript, but the list of such languages is much longer. Continuer à lire
Today, the JSweet transpiler source code was pushed to github. Continuer à lire
