With robust server-side javascript... its not hard to see the application of this. It is easier to generate executable javascript for the client on the server in javascript itself. Certainly in Web2+ you want this for increasingly dynamic behavior?

I do want more dynamism, but I don't see why you should be passing and executing arbitrary code from a source you can only verify with the greatest of difficulty. And having executable code be your communications protocol seems like an absolute nightmare if anything goes wrong. Hell, just versioning it will be hard. It might work for some simple demo apps, but I seriously question the wisdom of such an approach with a team who's size is >1.

Why not pass Json, and write your client code. It's not like Node is so expressive that it's a big win on server side code (especially with the flood of great altjvm & altclr languages these days).
