Let's reconsider whether Java is "the only approach that is
somewhat cross-platform."  Some of my Web-app-specializing
acquaintances tell me Flash, for example, is effectively both
more capable and portable than Java.

There have been at least rudimentary marriages of Flash and
Python.  I suspect the two could get along quite well.  I
don't know whether someone has already done this.
