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. Randy.
