- pier25 6y agoWhen they launched the last Gmail redesign in 2018 I used an extension to check what they had used and it showed up Vue: https://twitter.com/PierB/status/989630991051476992 https://twitter.com/PierB/status/989630991051476992 It doesn't show up anymore so they probably obfuscated it.

- ma2rten 6y agoGmail uses Wiz. The extension was probably misclassifying it. https://twitter.com/cramforce/status/958696304149868545 https://twitter.com/cramforce/status/958696304149868545
- cromwellian 6y agoNon-UI code is able to be compiled with J2CL, which shares GWT's runtime. However, the UI would have to be replaced with Wiz.
- thisistheend123 6y agoI have a newbie question. Since blogger is such a stable platform and hasn't seen much change feature wise for sometime now, why does one have to rewrite it if some framework that is uses has been deprecated. Just asking.
- toyg 6y agoProtecting it from security holes in the framework would be one reason. Ensuring somebody in your org still knows how it works and could fix stuff in a pinch, is another.
- Doctor_Fegg 6y agoAh, that explains why the long moribund Groups has been updated too.
