I've been using Gambas to develop the forms in a Perl-based Ajax 
app for the last 18 months.  Being able to do the entire thing 
in Gambas would have made development far, far quicker.  So even 
though current Ajax methods are probably a dead end, there is 
definitely a place for them.  

Anyway, I don't think the idea of single-function application 
servers will reach maturity for another 2-3 years yet, if it 
ever does.... the vast majority of sites out there are run on 
shared hosts, where that approach will face a lot of resistance.  
Some kind of Apache module that provides lower level access to 
the network connection without compromising security (but still 
serving a whole bunch of sites and apps over port 80) is 
probably what it would take for that approach to gain 
acceptance.
