Hi Nick,

   There are a certain class of applications that modify their code at
runtime - is the intention that these use the restful Closure
JavaScript compiler API?  One of the downsides to GWT is the need for
compilation (there's no compiler on GAE) - also making this a
*requirement* of a straight javascript solution takes away the
'dynamic' part of a 'dynamic language', and turns it into, well, just
a language.  The Closure JavaScript library does allow us to run
without compilation, so we can use it dynamically, but as the original
poster noted, it takes up some pretty serious space - it would be
great to see google host this on a CDN to support this alongside the
compiled scenario.  Thanks,

colin
