Hey Nice one there, i agree partially logically that once the code gets bigger you need some structure in there, but if you use ajax only for view purposes , i guess that you dont need much structure there... just a thought.

The libaray i would like to see is JQuery, extJS, mootools.
How long /easy do you think it is to do? what about using groovy?

You’re a Google whore. That’s the ONLY reason you’re pimping GWT.

It was impossible to take the rest of the article seriously, after this statement:

" Javascript is great for small libraries but really starts to break down once you build larger systems. "

There is nothing about Javascript that is more or less unsuitable for large systems. Yes, this is an intentional flat statement.

Of course, you generally do not want to be writing large libraries to download to the browser. This is just classic client/server design - keep complexity on the server and as much as possible push compute work to the clients. Nothing to do with Javascript.

Obviously Dojo would be a nice lib to convert
