Otherwise, I'm not so much interested for writing 'web apps'. > Is like having Node.JS, Go, Java, JS and all combined on Steroids and > no need to write a desktop and Web version of any app and cross > platform to every platform that Ada runs for local UI and remote UI > to anything from a flip phone to an IPad. As I wrote above, not being such a big fan of web-everywhere. That option was suggested to me in every programming language's community I was evaluating. :-) I'm more an old-school guy preferring, at least for my use cases, classical desktop app. However, I'm curious about the widget set which should be available for Gnoga? I understand that web apps are capable to replace desktop things in many cases, but, otoh, I believe that in majority of use cases those 'apps' are anyway so dumb so simple cli app could fulfill the need.
