    La différence que gwt n'aime pas javascript mais Sprout aime bien

    (pour résumer la position de GWT) : In other words: we don’t like JavaScript. It’s not Java and it’s hard. Use GWT instead and avoid learning that language altogether!

    SproutCore’s approach, as you probably know by now, is quite the opposite. Embrace JavaScript. It’s a good language once you get to know it. The tedious and error-prone part of it is not the fault of JavaScript, its the natural state of the web browsers and their relatively primitive APIs. But that’s what a framework is for.

    The point is, any framework that tries to help you avoid learning JavaScript, be it GWT, ruby helpers, or anything else, is fine when you have some relatively simple things to do. But if you want to build apps that really shine in the browser, you need to go native. Use the technologies that the browser is made of and you’ll be far happier in the long run.
