That's a lot of JavaScript files. Obviously, a lot of work has gone into this new framework.
I have griped about the number of individual files .. I think it should be packed, but it does dynamic class loading, which means you only download what you use, and it also caches so you only get them the first time. I still think the foundation classes should be packed into a single file, though.

Is this going to be released as an addendum to WebObjects, Wonder or is it something totally new altogether? Will WOLips support Gianduia?
This is something Apple has yet to announce any official information about.

Wonder will support it. In fact, we technically already do support pieces of it. I haven't had time recently, but my hope is that by the time Apple makes a decision on what to do that Wonder will have a reference implementation service backend that fully supports Gianduia's cool fetching features. There are a bunch of pieces there, but it's not really all wired up right. Quite a few of the enhancements that have gone into ERRest over the past 6 months have been to support Gianduia (in an unofficial capacity).

As far as WOLips support for Gianduia, I don't currently support anything, and Javascript is dramatically more difficult to support than Java (because it's fully dynamic). However, because of the nature of Gianduia, itself, I think we can actually support quite a bit. If people were encouraged to not do Javascript trickery and use properties, etc, whenever possible, I don't see any reason we couldn't provide a backing AST for Gianduia classes in Eclipse, at which point we should be able to abstract and adapt lots of our code completion that could be used in the template side. None of this exists now, though. Maybe Apple will be willing to fund some tools development at some point. I would like to abstract out all of our validation/ completion system in Eclipse, anyway, for some other things I'd like to do.
