Article: OpenLaszlo vs. GWT

OpenLaszlo vs. GWT by Elliotte Rusty Harold

Bottom line though: the next time I need to do some heavy lifting in AJAX I’m going to turn to GWT. It fits the way I think, and it uses familiar tools and languages. Doubtless as I dig deeper into it, I will find flaws. I always do. However it seems like a really nice 80/20 solution with the right hooks to escape out for a 99/1 system. OpenLaszlo just leaves me confused. I’m not saying it isn’t the better solution, but it certainly feels like the one with the much steeper learning curve.
