[Serious] Senior Java Devs, one of the lead dinosaurs of my workplace convinced the higher-ups to make various applications from a new contract using a framework called ZK.
What do you think of this framework and what is your opinion of the overall feeling the java community have about it?
(I'm not personally found of this kind of approach to developing and I'm kinda new to the Java language)

    Never heard of it. It looks to have UI elements built into it?

    @fyroc Yes. As far as I read their docs it has everything build-in. The premise is more productivity and less deviation. That's what I got now since I'll only have training sessions next week...

    The lead don't like front-end programming and he likes this framework, there's that too.

    @JPDreeamnz oof sounds like a terrible idea, from experience.

    I think the short description says it all:

    "ZK is the leading open source Ajax + Mobile Java Web framework integrating jQuery"

    1. I wish people would stop trying to make "Ajax" happen.
    2. LolJquery in 2020

    Also looks like it uses graalvm. While not terrible, it's primarily meant for dynamically compiled intermediary script operations.

    @SortOfTested Would you use it in any of your projects given the chance? :D

    No, that tech stack is circa 2005. Working with technology that old would dull my skills and make me unemployable in this market.

    I used it because the SAP hybris backoffice was implemented in ZK .... it was horrible, slow, buggy, hard to customize. But that was maybe a problem of the backoffice app and not ZK per se.
