On: Ask HN: What's the Google+ stack?

[nostrademons]

It is not GWT. It is very similar to the other JS-heavy Google Apps (GMail, Docs, Buzz, etc.) I'm not sure how many details of those are public, so I'll leave it at that.

Edit: Actually, apparently parts of the stack have been open-sourced:

http://code.google.com/closure/

http://code.google.com/p/protobuf/

http://code.google.com/p/google-guice/

[steilpass → nostrademons]

How do you know?

I had a very tangential role in getting Google+ out the door (as in, I got pulled in for last-minute bugfixing and fixed a handful of bugs), and I've been working in the Google+ codebase for the last few weeks.

http://ssl.gstatic.com/gb/js/pwm_377e54339fe6909b01c5d023b52... uses goog.structs.SimplePool, so you know at least that part uses Closure, http://closure-library.googlecode.com/svn/docs/class_goog_st....

I'm pretty sure nostrademons works for google...

At least for Google Closure they show where it is used:

http://code.google.com/closure/library/

Not sure about the other libs...

For a list of the Google products that use GWT, there is this recent discussion in the GWT Google Group:
