So without surprise I realize that my doubts about JQuery come of my lack of experience with it, but in contrast my experience with GWT is that one really "forgets" about the generated javascript code. It is small, performant and it just works! If one adds SmartGWT to the picture, one gets tons of useful widgets, and with GAE one gets a persistent backend and an object model that can be shared between server and client. All this is what I was calling the full-stack.
Nevertheless there are disadvantages, one of them being the incredible amount of code one has to write specially for the client (because in the server one can use Python or Scala as alternatives to Java.) Another important disadvantage is vendor lock-in. But again, my curiosity was triggered by the Bespin + Lift project. What is that all about really? How can we compare it to JQuery + Lift, or GWT, or other? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Lift" group.
