Oooops, that's starts getting interesting!
What if Pyjs would integrate all kinds of JS frameworks (mostly some
that provide UI widgets, I would suppose) and one could say at compile
time (or so) which one to use for the generated application!? ...
Sounds ... awesome ... scary ...<your opinion here>
- Who would decide on what framework would make it into Pyjs?
- What would the design look like that makes it possible to do such a
thing? (i.e. using the same Python code that generates a web app with
the widget library of your choice)
Not sure whether this would entail any serious disadvantages, issues,
challenges.

It is interesting, but I'd rather "Do One Thing Well" first. I vote for
tracking GWT step-for-step, and making PYJS attractive because it has
all the advantages of Google's engineering, plus the pure joy of working
in Python. I don't care if alternative frameworks are added later, but
the GWT widgets aren't even 100% now. I think an automated conversion
process that kept us on the bleeding edge (we can still use that
metaphor here, can't we? :)) of GWT development would, mixed with the
advantages of Python, make us a killer project.
Just my two cents. I was in PYJS (and loved developing with PYJD), but
am in GWT now because the widgets and compiler just aren't in the same
league as GWT is currently (my PYJS application was 5MB, my GWT
application (which is feature-identical) is 200kb). I'd love to go back
to PYJS. I coded twice as fact and loved the flexibility and fewer lines
of code. But it's just not industrial strength yet.
Kind regards,
Rob
