I used to write small "applets" with the TCL plugin, without resorting to
Java. For some kind of applications, Tk looked better than awt (no Java2
support in browsers back then). The TCL plugin looks a bit "unmaintained"
today, I didn't see any new version in a long time.

Anyway, I implemented a large part of the user interface with "eruby" (it
rocks!), connected to a ruby backend with a simple Unix socket. If I really
need a truly interactive application, I make the user connect with VNC and
use ruby-qt2 for the true application (Xvnc from inetd works wonders) :o)
