The GUI-in-a-browser/Ada-backend-on-the-server project. I had toyed with the 
idea of making a Claw subset that worked that way a long time ago (probably 
10 years now), but I got stuck on the problem of how to deal with the server 
(you can only have one such program running on a computer easily, since 
there is only one port 80 to respond to; you can use other ports but those 
quickly run into issues with web filters and proxies and firewalls).

It seems that there is a market for such tools in other languages, it would 
be nice to have one for a language with strong correctness underpinnings.

But I doubt that there are enough possible open-minded customers to make it 
worth the effort.
