Hi,
Those among you who have an interest in AJAX-style web development - that is
to say the development of web applications that run entirely into the
browser environment, calling back to the server back-end only to get raw
data -- will probably have noticed the recent appearance of the Google Web
Toolkit (http://code.google.com/webtoolkit).
...
Is anyone working on anything similar or that might be interested in such a
project?
I am currently working on a Google Summer of Code project relating to some of this...
The project is more or less bound to Haskell Server Pages ( http://www.cs.chalmers.se/~d00nibro/hsp/),
enabling _javascript_ code generation. The main difference compared to the Google Web Toolkit approach
is that there are no special compiler magic added for compiling directly into _javascript_.
Instead the compiled program, e.g. a cgi program generates the code (_javascript_/HTML/XML)
at runtime. However, type safety is gained via an embedded language (HJScript) and a typed
abstract representation of _javascript_ in Haskell.
For more info see http://www.dtek.chalmers.se/~bjornson/soc/
Regards,
Joel
