GeneralWarning: GWT is broken by design Pin

For many, the reaction is probably "what, you didn't know this?", but I just found out that basic math is broken in GWT[^].

That's the sort of thing that probably warrants a huge warning on the home page of the project, but whatever, let's hide it in the docs that no one reads. "Write Java run JS" you say? Nope, you have to carefully "JSify" your Java in order to make it correct. Have you ever copied and pasted some Java code in GWT and made it run client-side? Be extremely worried.

How the hell is this acceptable? It could easily add the right amount of |0 in the right places to make most of it work right, that's not even slow. Multiplication in some cases (by large constants or two variables with each other) requires some slower JS code to be correct, but whatever, it's a compilers job to be correct first and fast second - speed does not compensate for incorrectness.
