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.
