Sounds like I can somehow trust that gnoga will be around many years to come.

So my special issue: I work on making my (cancer) cellular behavior analysis program (https://korsnesbiocomputing.no/) as a "cloud service". Its all programmed in Ada using GLOBE_3D. I consider using guacamole apache. Its intensive about handling images. So what are the aguments for and against using  guaceamole (as compared to for example guacamole apache) ?
