Can Scala be used to write GWT applications?
(NOTE: Java/Scala novice here…)
Short answer is GWT can call into a program written using Scala. The most popular web framework written in Scala is Lift – http://liftweb.net/ and would be an alternative to GWT if you wanted a pure Scala solution.
GWT is a web framework written using Java. The client side is written in the Java Language and compiles into JavaScript and the server side is written in Java and can use any resources available in the Java JVM. Scala is a language that compiles into bytecodes that are executable on the JVM and can interact with standard Java programs as well.
