[11:21:21] Doug: Wonder if we can use GWT for SVG instead of HTML.

[13:18:03] jmac: What's GWT
[13:18:16] jmac: George Washington Turkey
[13:18:29] jmac: Discoverer of the turkey

Zarf, vocally: "I take it that George Washington Carver was the destroyer of the turkey, then."

That's so nutty. You guys are goobers.

So what IS "GWT"?

[cnoocy]

It's amazing how unhelpful google was at answering that question.

Yeah, GWT doesn't do SVG, that was my idle speculation/daydream.

Also, apparently even Google thinks GWT means something else entirely.

Man, I thought everyone read googleblog. It's the Google Web Toolkit.

Does that have any SVG support at all?

[dougo.livejournal.com]

Nope, it's all HTML:

GWT user interface classes are similar to those in existing UI frameworks such as Swing and SWT except that the widgets are rendered using dynamically-created HTML rather than pixel-oriented graphics.

The main benefit to GWT I can see as an AJAX developer is that it deals with browser quirks. That's not a problem in Gamut, since there's only the one real client.
