I am working in Node this summer and when I read "Javascript MCV" I thought great a new server side framework. off topic yes, but blurring the lines between server and client has unexpected repercussions.

Where are the lines blurring? You've got a client and a server, and the two are sitting on different machines, communicating only via HTTP requests. The fact that they can be written in the same language is nothing too special; you can do the same with desktop apps, and have been able to for ages.

If you could blur that browser-server line, I bet you could do some impressive things. Bonus points if you manage to do impressive things without opening up lots of security holes. :-)

its a small comment, I found my thought process quite interesting. If you want to talk about really blurring then a framework which can easily and safely share the same models on both the client and server would be very interesting. (looking forward to seeing what batman.js is)
