![]() ![]() InfoQ: Web technologies and browser support changes so frequently that it's almost impossible to keep track of all the latest trends and innovations, such as web components, progressive web apps, and WebAssembly (WASM). A developer with plain Java skills can build a part of the app using Vaadin, and for example, React or JSF developer can take care of the rest. This allows you to share the workload in a team with mixed skills. This way it is very easy to start using Vaadin on places where it really shines, on the most dynamic parts of your web page. It is straightforward to do for the one who maintains the host page, and possible collapses in CSS and JS space are dealt with the Web Component standard and shadow DOM. Embedding was one thing that we dropped in Vaadin 10, but now the feature is back better than ever. Tahvonen: Embedding Vaadin applications as Web Component. InfoQ: What is a feature in Vaadin 14 that you are most excited about? We already started efforts to make the build more seamless for Java developers in upcoming minor versions. Previously we installed front-end tools during the build if they were needed, but now we expect npm to be installed beforehand. The previous was based on Bower, that is already deprecated. Most complaints have been about the new npm based front-end build, which we just had to get done for this version. Thus, many old-time Vaadin users have stayed with version 8, which is still great, and waited for this version to start upgrading their applications. In the previous long-term support version (Vaadin 10), we had to drop a bunch of features due to the huge rewrite of all component implementations. The response has been mostly really positive. Matti Tahvonen: Thank you, it was a great effort. ![]() InfoQ: Congratulations on releasing Vaadin 14! What was the community response to the new release?
