Tongue-in-cheek :-P but I do think that Viaweb is relevant here: their original business model (it was called Webgen) was to let people host their sites with them. They were also the first to figure out "cloud" where they ran their customers generated code on their infrastructure.

I believe after building Viaweb, PG had a similar idea of an IDE + language + infrastructure to allow people to build and ship applications from the browser.
