Could you elaborate why you think so ?

What I have in mind is:

  - Do a common project for both "business" and the "GUI near" code.
  - The IDE provides some means to define which parts of the codes are 
to go where (in an Object Pascal system supposedly based on classes).
  - With that, interfaces are provided for the communication (e.g. 
procedure calls; in an Object Pascal system supposedly class based 
procedures, properties and events).
  - The IDE compiles the code appropriately with acknowledging separates 
definitions for both parts to be runnable where.
  - The communication between the parts is implemented accordingly: if 
it's a "local" GUI, just a normal executable is created, if the GUI is 
Browser based: this part is implemented with pas2js, and the loading and 
communication is implemented accordingly (if the main part is stand 
alone, including a built-in web server, if the main part is to be run 
behind a web server doing it as a cgi).

I do see that this is unlikely to happen, but IMHO just because lack of 
dev time, not because of bad concept.
