Re: GWT - Thin or Fat Client

I haven't seen anything in GWT that would predispose it to being
either kind of client. Similar to Java or other more traditional
development languages, you can make it as fat or thin as you want.

I might put forth the idea that since JavaScript isn't exactly great
at crunching bits, it does lend one to doing the heavy lifting on the
server, and therefore be more of a thin client than not, but that
seems like a bit of a stretch.
