[Dart] Google Web Toolkit

[troy d. straszheim]

Personally I'd like to see a plugin for Trac.  That would make me
completetly giddy.  The language is python, it has a database backend,
and plugin management in trac (with python 'eggs') is about as
complicated as jar files (not very).

Ss for the GWT, I have put some stuff together with it.  It works, and
the basic mechanism (generated javascript that does xmlrpc) is really
cool.  But as with all code generators it can be difficult to debug,
and it can be hard, once you have started to push the envelope, to
tell whether you've actually got a bug or you're just doing something
wrong.  

Another thing I would wonder about is dependencies and ease of
installation.  The GWT generates a bunch of javascript which goes in a
webroot somewhere and they call back to the webserver on a special URL
that has the servlet listening.  I found it brittle.  You might be
able to manage all this in one big jar... I just dont know much about
the stuff.

Very curious to see what you come up with,
