What about having a browser as the GUI and using AJAX-style HTTP for
the comms? The back-end would be something like AWS or my EWS
(http://embed-web-srvr.sourceforge.net).
It does mean programming your GUI in HTML/JavaScript which I can agree
is less than pleasant, but I'm not at all sure that GUI programming in
Ada is any less tedious ... and it certainly makes you think about
separation of concerns!
I have yet to get to grips with XML-formatted (ie, structured)
responses. Perhaps I'm reading the wrong book (Professional Ajax from
Wrox).
