I guess it depends on the integration with the backend. If you have lots of Java programmers that would like to keep control of everything in one language you could use something like GWT or Vaadin. However, you could also take that argument the other way around and write everything in Javascript, including on the backend (using something like Node).
if the question is mostly about maintainability on the frontend i would look more into solutions like RequireJS that allow you to make your code more modular. -- Hay On Wed, Dec 15, 2010 at 3:43 PM, Fran <[email protected]> wrote: > I'm lately looking into frameworks like GWT or Cappuccino, or recently > Coffee-script, although this one is more a peuse-code that compiles into > javascript than a framework, but still it seems to follow similar > philosophy.
