That's true, thanks for pointing that out. Java-based solutions can target the web "for free".

When you take development time into account, GWT doesn't come for free. Yes, it's possible to compile Java to JS via GWT, but the toolchain is prohibitively slow. In contrast, the Haxe compiler is extremely fast.
