This report on GWT, "The Future of GWT", will be interesting to developers, architects and managers, too. You'll learn details about GWT's usability, its competitors and even opinions as to how it's going to stand up against Dart.

Over 1300 respondents provided data. Overall, GWT is looked upon highly by developers mainly because it targets multiple browsers at once and because it reduces hand coding of Javascript. Slow compile times were a major complaint. These comments are pretty obvious to anyone familiar with GWT, but useful to newcomers. The report digs much deeper though, so experienced developers will learn some things by seeing what a good size survey respondent sample thinks. 

 

Here's a preview of what you'll see in the report:

You'll have to provide your name and email address to get a copy, but I think it's fair since the folks at Vaadin worked hard to provide it along with the other big contributors. And, thanks to Dave Booth for bringing this info to Codetown. If you have questions, Dave's your direct link to the group that put the report together. Check it out here.

Presentation: Empower Your Developers: How Open Source Dependencies Risk Management Can Unlock Innovation

Celine Pypaert discusses the ubiquitous nature of open-source software and shares a blueprint for securing modern applications. She explains how to prioritize high-risk vulnerabilities using exploitability data, the role of Software Bill of Materials (SBOM), and the importance of bridging the gap between DevOps and Security through clear accountability and automated governance.

Zendesk Says AI Makes Code Abundant, Shifting the Bottleneck to “Absorption Capacity”

Zendesk argues that GenAI shifts the bottleneck in software delivery from writing code to “absorption capacity”, which is the organisation’s ability to define problems clearly, integrate changes into the wider system, and turn implementation into reliable value. As code becomes abundant, architectural coherence, review capacity, and delivery flow become the main constraints.

Claude Code Used to Find Remotely Exploitable Linux Kernel Vulnerability Hidden for 23 Years

Anthropic researcher Nicholas Carlini used Claude Code to find a remotely exploitable heap buffer overflow in the Linux kernel's NFS driver, undiscovered for 23 years. Five kernel vulnerabilities have been confirmed so far. Linux kernel maintainers report that AI bug reports have recently shifted from slop to legitimate findings, with security lists now receiving 5-10 valid reports daily.

Article: Using AWS Lambda Extensions to Run Post-Response Telemetry Flush

At Lead Bank, synchronous telemetry flushing caused intermittent exporter stalls to become user-facing 504 gateway timeouts. By leveraging AWS Lambda's Extensions API and goroutine chaining in Go, flush work is moved off the response path, returning responses immediately while preserving full observability without telemetry loss.
