... Flippant comments aside, one example which is known to come up is in code which tries to detect and handle deadlock situations. If two threads detect a deadlock, and try to "step aside" for each other, without care they will end up being stuck in a loop always "stepping a...

..., and has spent a lot of time helping people who are learning the language now, it's not at all clear that it even helped in any way.

...e a conversion function: I used the one from Mark Amery a couple of times now, it works great and is very easy to use. You can also use a similar function as an object_hook instead, as it might gain you a performance boost on big files. See the slightly more involved answer from Mirec Miskuf for th...

...in control of who you hire, then you can always choose people that either know GWT or want to learn it. Problem: GWT is a sledgehammer compared to something like jquery or just plain javascript.
