Agreed ! Lazarus/FPC is all about native code. It would be close to 
impossible to compile a decent Lazarus project to JVM or CIL.

That is why in my first post in this thread I mentioned "ifi": a Widget 
Type that separates the business code from the widget generation and 
introduces a stream interface between these parts. Thus a set of 
standard "widget generator"s could be provided together with the LCL to 
do a remote GUI based on the streaming interface . And this baby can be 
done in Java (e.g. for Android), in Java Script (e.g. for server  
applications with Browser based remote GUI) in FPC Code (for a remote 
GUI using a standard GUI-program attached to the "server" or "service" 
via TCP/IP, serial interface or some Windows message based transport, 
enabling WIN Server 2008 services) or perhaps in Delphi Prism (for 
enabling Silverlight/Moonlight stuff).

But I fear this is too much work to do for a small group of developers.
