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 projects, 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.
