Thanks for the link. I really appreciate the response straight from the source. And it helps confirm for me that I'm probably looking for something that doesn't yet exist.
But what is the barrier for Google providing access to GAE via javascript? GWT is, after all, converted to javascript when it is running on the client - so it is technically possible. And communication between client and server, no matter what platform they use is standard HTTP protocol - neither client or server really cares (or should care) about how the other is implemented. I'm not trying to be obtuse, but it just seems like such a... natural... fit and obvious gap in the simplicity of the development. Write your GAE server in a natural server side language like Python or Java, and write your client in a natural client side language like javascript and HTML5. Is there a reason that I've missed? Help me out here - I just don't understand the omission... On Mar 14, 1:40 pm, "Ikai Lan (Google)" <ika...@google.com> wrote: > I wouldn't say dancing - we just don't provide that kind of access.
