Just a small note, but despite the common belief, Gmail isn't written with GWT. Serious web app development seems to result in creating a framework of your own, as your examples show, so I'd agree some useful frameworks would be good, but we have not yet worked out what they should do.
- clojurerocks 16y agoWhat is Gmail written in?
- swah 16y agoJavascript (who would imagine!)
- clojurerocks 16y agoI meant do they use a specific framework. My understanding was that GWT was created out of the work they were doing with gmail which is why all of the samples for GWT look like gmail.

- clojurerocks 16y agoAny idea why thats being used as opposed to GWT?
- gcv 16y agoGmail predates GWT by several years. I'm also not entirely sure Gmail is written in Java to begin with.
