The Google Web Toolkit
Google has just released the Google Web Toolkit (GWT) for the development of rich AJAX aps, free for commercial or noncommercial use. Here are some live GWT examples.
You write the application using GWT's Java framework (using your preferred tools, such as Eclipse). You can run and test it using the JVM. For deployment, the GWT compiler transforms it into HTML plus JavaScript. The big advantage, of course, is that GWT takes care of all the browser quirks.
As Google says, "Writing dynamic web applications today is a tedious and error-prone process; you spend 90% of your time working around subtle incompatabilities between web browsers and platforms".
It would be fabulous if someone would write an Eiffel wrapper for this...
