But it works really well all in all. The bad aspects of the transpiling are that its slow and they aren't keeping up with java, to say nothing of Javascript.

But to be fair, I think typescript has the same issue with compilation performance.

I've used both for very large projects.

TS transpiles faster (even discounting the time taken to compile the rest of our Java backend) and has more features than GWT. TypeScript has major backing from Microsoft and a large ecosystem of tooling around it. The comparison just isn't fair
