hi thomas, thanks for link to infoq article about dart - so... it seems my guess is possibly right :) - but it's long long way ahead.
as to mentioned issue with hashmap - i find it feature rather than problem. and that case is even not java-javascript but ie specific implementation issue. and as to gwt - since this is gwt group - i liked very much the idea of cross-compilation and possibility of maintaining big client side application in java. although it was gwt where i came across it the first time. but than i was not sure about it should try to mimic common java libraries. maybe sticking only to java "raw" language but with browser specific libriries would be a better solution? libraries that vastly utilize something like "JavaScriptObject class" in current implementation? maybe the wrong business policy was to target with gwt at existing java developers rather than motivate existing javascript developers to learn java :)? but no tool is perfect - especially from its begining - and imporovements are natural (notice java collections). gwt is still young, and java at its age was imho less convincing technology. if it is not due any legal/licensing strategy than i would stick to java in gwt... "if i were gooogle" ;). as to mysql - nice to see it on app engine - but this fact does not undermine the possibility of willingness to became independent from oracle owned technology. since mysql community server is open source and GPL licensed, google is no way dependent on oracle in that case. situation with java is quite different, and as i remember some time ago microsoft tried to make its own java, what has been effectively stopped by sun's sue and trial, utlimately resulting in birth of c# :). -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Web Toolkit" group.
