There is no inherent reason why Java is fit to create a web-application and pascal is not :-) (in fact, I don't think Java is fit to create any application, but that is another discussion, which is not on it's place here ;) ) > > Why does one need to translate from Pascal to Java ? Not from pascal to Java, but to Javascript: The browsers only understand javascript. Translating pascal to Javascript means you can write browser-side code in pascal, and then send it to the browser. This is why I think Morfik has the right approach: They allow you to code both server and client-side in Pascal (or VB). The server code is compiled to a super-fast server binary, the client code is sent to the browser as Javascript. Google does something similar with GWT, only they use Java. (but Morfik was the first to do it, and they hold the patent on this technique). My (long-term) plan is to make this possible in Lazarus. The server-side is more or less covered, the basic blocks are in place. The client-side needs still some work, of course.
