I did write a script in 2004 to generate DHTML widgets out of Gambas 1.0 
forms (HTML + Javascript + CSS + some perl CGI code -- the term "Ajax" 
hadn't been coined yet), but simply taking desktop apps and throwing them 
on a web page really didn't work that well as a user interface paradigm.  
But I forgot about GWT.  I should have a look at the code it generates to 
see how awful it is, but it's still strange to me to think of a high-level
interpreted language as a compilation target.
