Noup They still use Wasabe. He mentions it often on his podcast. And I don't think it is such a bad idea. It is simply a translator from one languate to another. Like GWT (Google Web Toolkit) They program in Java however the result is 'translated' to javascript. That is how the Gmail UI was made.

So no that crazy

Google only uses GWT for their internal projects. Gmail's UI doesn't use it.

You're right, though, it's not that crazy of an idea.

Isn't GWT used to build their wave client?
