Agreed ! But if doing a server based application (ore one that includes
the web-server) that mainly does unattended, "embedded" work, and tghe
GUI is only used for configuration and monitoring, such a
toy-functionality might be useful, nonetheless.
From the view of the application programmer, doing a Rich Internet
Application with pas2js is a similar endeavor as Microsoft intended by
Silverlight (which has been canceled some time ago) : Design an
application and define "bridging points" that "somehow" shift the
execution between server and browser.
With Silverlight, both parts would be compiled to CIL byte code and run
an a CIL (aka .NET) framework, with fpc, the server part would be
compiled to a native executable while the Browser part would be compiled
to JS (or maybe later to WebAssembly).
The user source code would not necessarily need to contain much more
than appropriate definitions of the bridging points (supposedly some
kind of inter-class interface), and the Lazarus infrastructure would
take care of the communication.
