Sorry, I'm not following any on them.

But, the biggest issue here is that most of the engines are C++ based.
FPC support of C++ classes is in initial state (and is on long term todo
list).
Thus building a bridge (i.e. C wrappers) for web library is required in
most cases.
So it's an extra step that a rare pascal developer would like to make and
maintain. And the quality of integration depends on the quality and
flexibility of created wrappers.

Take Qt as example -  C-wrappers are maintained by a single person and a
lot of Qt APIs is still missing.

thanks,
Dmitry
