Well, there's nothing stopping you from serving HTML/CSS/JS web apps over the Gemini protocol.

(Nothing stopping you from building a browser that handles gemini format documents and does special things with JS links, either, though to avoid accidental execution issues you would probably need to extend the format to distinguish “links I want to execute” from other links.)

All of that goes without saying, so the only real question is whether Gemini can resist the scourge of the modern web.

I'd like to say again that by competing with the modern web to do things that gemini isn't good at, gemini gets to lose those contests, and this should limit the success of efforts to to make dancing bears out of gemini.
