[erlang-questions] Ajax in Erlang, anyone?

[Roberto Saccon]

AFAIK, there is no GWT-like tool in Erlang.  Look for tercio, that's
an alpha-state Erlang web framework with probably the tightest
JavaScript integration you can currently get in Erlang. But in my
opinion you should keep things separate, unless  you like a mess  like
server side generated JavaScript snippets as  in Rails.
