ivo, The Bespin story (likewise for http://cappuccino.org/ ) is one of integration with Lifts comet support etc... both those technologies are all based on Javascript runtime (as is GWT) so you need to think in more abstract terms; when we talk about integration with a client side technology, we [the team] usually refer to integrating Lift's main USPs with said technology. For example, making sure the comet support works OOTB etc.
Bespin (and to that end, Thunderhead) are amazing toolkits for client side dev, and any integration done with Lift will purely be to ensure that our USPs work in a very seamless way - its not to say that if there isnt "integration" with a technology you want you cant use lift, its just that some we'll supply and some we wont. Does that help?
