Subject: Re: Pylons vs Tomcat+GWT
The point of GWT is that you can use java for the client side code,
with most
of its core libraries, and you get better optimized javascript, and
much better
development environment and tools (IDE, debugger).
This is superior compared to using any javascript framework, none of
which offers
the comprehensive high level libraries that java provides.
