Also a great disadvantage with JavaScript being the official scripting language of the web so it needs to work in every browser, but not every browser will implement it the same way. Syntax between the browser and servers also gets conflated.
I've done frontend development in Java and it sucks major ass. The "advantage" of using one language for the whole project really ended up as a net negative. For any server-side project I'm totally fine using Java because for all it's verbosity it's secure, performant, and examples from 10 years ago aren't useless.
JSP used to be the shit back in the day. Imagine server-side rendered html through Java. Nowadays it's properly regarded as shit, fortunately.
I tought JSP was just one templating solution like mustache, jinja2, Thymeleaf etc. But guess theres more to it.
Fron-end development with Java? You mean Java applets or something?
JSF for example. e.g. Primefaces https://www.primefaces.org/ I think there is something like Omnifaces too
Google Web Toolkit was a thing at some point in time. ;y current company still maintains some apps which are written in it.
Behold the horror of Vaadin: https://vaadin.com/docs/latest/guide/quick-start#add-code
Honestly looks like any other UI library/Framework for C#/Java.
However usually these elements are not instantiated/configured directly but from xml, yaml or json files that are built using some sort of GUI/Editor.
