🆚 GWT vs. React

GWT is an open-source development toolkit that lets developers write front-end web applications in Java and compile them into optimized JavaScript, HTML, and CSS.

It offers built-in support for rich UI widgets, asynchronous remote procedure calls, code splitting and resource bundling, debugging in Java IDEs, and internationalization features.

React is a popular open-source JavaScript library for building dynamic user interfaces, created by Facebook.

It allows developers to create reusable UI components, offers JSX markup support, a virtual DOM, hooks, and is often used as a base for other full-stack frameworks such as Next.js or Remix.
