I use merb (similar to Ruby on Rails) and Sequel as my ORM for the server.
I wrote a simple RESTful RequestBuilder and some very straightforward
JSON layer for my models on the client side.

My time, allocated between client and server, it 99:1. GUI's (and Java)
are not the most succinct programming environments. I think I am coding
about 1K LoC on the client for about 10 LoC on the server.
