What is Gmail written in?

  Javascript (who would imagine!)

    I meant do they use a specific framework. My understanding was that GWT was created out of the work they were doing with gmail which is why all of the samples for GWT look like gmail.

    Any idea why thats being used as opposed to GWT?

      Gmail predates GWT by several years. I'm also not entirely sure Gmail is written in Java to begin with.
