Thinking about it, I wonder if any MUD codebases have WebSockets support. It'd be interesting to see a full-featured client as a single web page.
This is such an awesome, anachronistic mix of the shiny new and the internet of yore. It's a shame MUDs expect you to be constantly interacting, I keep being slow and having them time out on me (then having to ;;reset to revive the session ...)
Social MU*s usually have a keepalive option that does some silent character exchange in the background with the client every so often to keep the connection open.

Damn. They didn't include MUME, one of the oldest active MUDs and based on LotR (and a game I've played for twenty years, in fact meeting my wife through that game): http://www.mume.org
While I learned how to type faster in general by playing, my wpm for stuff like 'k boba' was off the charts.

Not quite what you're asking for though.
Maybe if I get some time in the coming weeks I'll give it a shot.

I was recently considering writing a MUD-like multiplayer text adventure game in Clojure and Clojurescript that used RethinkDB change feeds over WebSockets (through the excellent sente library).

WebSockets support, so that plain Javascript in a browser can connect to the server without having to wrap in node-webkit or use Java or whatever.
