Hi Rob, there's a big difference, crosscompiling Gambas code to Javascript
will allow you programming in Gambas and running your applications in any
modern browser, without the overload of Java.
That's the idea behind of GWT [1] or Pyjama [2], and I can assure you that
both are good project, and GWT is very succesfully and is making me thinking
of migrate some of my gambas applications to a web interface, even if I have
to use Java (which I wouldn't say it's a language I love) to do the user
frontend.
More and more, everyday, users love the web interface, even if the
application is not  a real web interface. I.E: a small daemon running python
with the twisted framework providing the user interface in javascript in the
browser is prefered to  a real desktop application. At least in the schools
world where I spend most of my time.
