(Paul Buchheit was GMail's creator and lead developer)

You could tell me: "OK, but it doesn't prove that current GMail is not in GWT. It may have been rewritten". I'd answer that:

- using firebug and looking at the js scripts loaded by GMail, there is no trace of GWT (things such as *.nocache.js scripts). They might have obfuscated to hide it, but why do that?

- if Google indeed rewrote GMail using GWT, they would have announced it, like they did for Wave / Adwords.
