Fundamentally, it's because engineering teams at Google are free to choose their own tools. The Architecture Police don't work here. There are many instances where Google tools or products compete with each other like GWT and Closure. In Google culture, that's generally viewed as healthy as it allows freedom of choice and provides incentive for competing frameworks to continually improve.
As for Google+, I don't know any specifics, but lots of factors typically come into play as with any company: the team's skillset and preferences, whether the app is in framework X's sweet spot, etc. I don't understand it personally, but some people really like JS, and Google has a lot of (very good) JS developers. /dmc On Sat, Jul 2, 2011 at 4:45 AM, Yannis BRES <yaya.at.w...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi David ! > > Would you (or Thomas ? ;-) ) have any shareable insights as to why Google+ > seems to be coded in pure Java / closure instead of GWT ? > > Best regards, > Yannis > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "Google Web Toolkit" group. > To view this discussion on the web visit > https://groups.google.com/d/msg/google-web-toolkit/-/qvRtDQzGbUsJ. > > To post to this group, send email to google-web-toolkit@googlegroups.com. > To unsubscribe from this group, send email to > google-web-toolkit+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com. > For more options, visit this group at > http://groups.google.com/group/google-web-toolkit?hl=en. > -- David Chandler Developer Programs Engineer, GWT+GAE w: http://code.google.com/ b: http://turbomanage.wordpress.com/ b: http://googlewebtoolkit.blogspot.com/ t: @googledevtools -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Web Toolkit" group.
