Glimmer Calculator Desktop App Runs On The Web Via Opal

Glimmer Calculator (Glimmer DSL for SWT desktop app) finally runs on the web via Glimmer DSL for Opal without needing to change a single line of code. It is completely written in Ruby! Even keyboard shortcuts work!

This is the future of web development as we know it! You simply build apps for the desktop in pure Ruby and they just work on the web. After all, desktop GUI needs a fraction of the code needed for web GUI, and GUI is GUI whether on the desktop or the web.

Of course, if a company needs special branding, a web designer may still apply CSS wizardry, but there is no need to get the developers involved. They could just focus on development in pure Ruby.
