I agree that JavaScript is breaking the traditional web - linked static HTMLs with some forms in it. But I also believe that one day people will start to forget this bumpy ride. I am thinking of http://nodejs.org/ and http://jsdom.org/ - if the user agent has javascript disabled - the client side javascript code could be executed on the server.

In hashbang schemes the client-side javascript is being used to prevent page loads and to reduce server-side rendering (though this second argument strikes me as a red herring).
