perhaps stating the obvious here, but with the abstraction pigshell provides of resources on the web, it should be reasonably straight forward to build arbitrary "internet applications" too.

with deferred pipes, split and joins (that pigshell already provides/supports) it should be possible to implement arbitrary work/data flow definitions one desires.

coupled with psty, one could build/harness special purpose "transformers" on the web

pushing it further, one could conceive of setting up pipes between transformers on the web.

of course getting there will require significant work on a security model as well.

It could probably be easier than you imagine. The security model could be implemented in psty completely by granting/denying requested resources whose permissions are stored in a database on the psty server, and managed by using long security IDs in the URLs. This way the security model could even be fine-grained. In other words, pigshell itself could be embedded into a secure environment, covered by the permissions of psty.
