It's not like Morfik - to write an wrapper, for an existing JS library
is a matter of one or two hours - I did it for Google-Maps and JQuery.

Have you tried to write a wrapper for ExtJS or any other advanced JS library that provides advanced UI widgets with server side data binding, not just DOM helper and manipulator?

The speed benefit in coding you have afterwards, compensates this a lot of times. And you have flash - all the code you write once, you can use for all the platforms - and have type safe communication between all the
layers !

Because I don't need flash or other non standard browser plugins/ addons. I like the Morfik approach that keep away from third party browser extensions, just work with the native browser features (HTML, CSS, and JS). Besides, I'm too lazy to learn yet another language while I believe I could write anything in pascal.

because Pascal is not as well suited for dynamic languages and
environments - I use pascal since 30 years for my every day development
and love it - but IMHO for web programming, it is more productive to
have a dynamic language - it is the nature of websites.

It's a myth! I've been using pascal to write many web applications. I found myself as productive as when I write desktop applications. I even could reuse my legacy pascal code in new web applications. It means I save times for coding and bug hunting.

You are welcome - but never say never ;-)

Yes, but now I don't see hexa could fit into my requirements.

Yes - I know its not well accepted to say in a pascal group, that
another language is better suited for this and that - but to be fair - I
write on the HaXe group, that pascal is better for this and that as
well. It is not about religion - it is about experience and how to get
the job done.

Exactly! It's not about religion, it's about how to get the job done. I just don't think with my skill and knowledge of hexa would get the job done better and faster compare to if I stick with pascal and the available tools (despite some lacks of them).
