I fully expect to take some flak for this, but so be it; I would (and
eventually intend to) use JavaScript for this.

My reasons are as follows:

- Ubiquity - all you need is a browser and a small library*
<https://github.com/chjj/tty.js>
- Secure Channel - using HTTPS
- Customization - Wrapping the terminal screen into views (trees/tabs)
is a relatively simple task

I forked this project as soon as I heard about with the intention of
writing a tool like the one you describe.  Unfortunately I'm tied up
seven ways from sundown at the moment.  (That said, if there was a
contract offer I'd put some personal items on the back burner to jump
on it)

Anyway, some food for thought.

Best regards
