That is simply the wrong way of doing things.
With browsers or webviews what they are today, you can do all display
logic in the browser.
The server just needs to provide the suitable data.
Of course I do agree that it would be a lot nicer to have a remote GUI
that supports displaying forms on a browser (and in fact I do have a
device (QNAP NAS) that does this in a way that looks and feels very
similar to what is standard with a Lazarus Application. I did not find
out whether they did their own Java Script Widget implementation or if
they licensed a 3rd party product for that.
But I don't see how somebody will start a new project similar to
EXTPascal, that needs a lot of Java Script knowledge and supposedly will
only be able to support a basic set of the LCL Widgets. Moreover the
HTTP protocol is a bad choice for remoting a GUI, as it does not
decently support server->Client signaling.
Moreover such devices often need to provide a standard web server at the
same time, and sit behind a firewall/Proxy, making a deployment even
harder.
