Yeah, this is actually starting to look remotely possible... If you can't tell I'm not that experienced and writing heterogeneous C programs is waay above me. However, I've been mucking around with JS (currently reading Crockford's _JavaScript
: The Good Parts_) and learning Clojure. It seems one could just write everything in Clojure, running the server side on JVM and compiling client code to minified JS using the Google tools. Could even take advantage of the R-Pi GPU (and any other OpenGL capable hardware that might be present) for things that need to happen fast by doing GPGPU with WebGL (it is just OpenGL ES 2.0). Basically, the architecture would be a whole lot of JVM servers clustered together with a JS client interface...
However, it won't likely be fast...
EDIT: Actually, you could flip that architecture around, and have one JVM server with a normal web page doing parasitic computing on the GPU via the browser of each client... TFLOP computer controlled by a Kindle. That computer would only be good for a few (very) embarrassingly parallel problems, but it would be powerful.
