Ask HN: What framework Google uses for their UI?

1 pointnvictor3 comments

The buttons styling looks alike in all their apps. This suggests some kind of framework.

I once read a blog post of the creator of the buttons of gmail, and all was custom. What was more surprising for me, was that different teams in different apps (at that time) didn't seem to share UI components like those

I think they use Google Web Toolkit for things like Gmail.

Example: http://gwt.google.com/samples/Mail/Mail.html

Any sources to back that up ? Last I checked, GMail seemed to be a couple hundrend thousands lines of handwritten Javascript[1]
