> if it must be in JS to satisfy the entire sentence, vtop, any node.js application, etc

What? "Any node.js application" most definitely won't successfully run client-side. Similarly, "bash" most definitely won't run client-side. Additionally, most client-side frameworks don't effortlessly work in a DOMless environment.

> that could be run on either server or client, which is obviously meaningless

How is that meaningless? That's literally the entirety of what's important about isomorphic apps: the same codebase can be run client-side and server-side.

I'm not typing for personal gratification, I've explained this

> Similarly, "bash" most definitely won't run client-side

what is a terminal, what is linux, what is windows even. you know "client-side" can refer to multiple things, yes? browser, computer, etc

> that could be run on either server or client, which is obviously meaningless

I've mentioned this in relation to my examples given, 3 times now, stop intentionally making this difficult

I can run program A on my computer, I can run program A on a server. this has no value to mention, as such it is a meaningless personal comprehension of the tagline.

if you want me to explain that a 4th time, I'll be glad to

you must realize the world exists in /and out/ of the browser, javascript exists outside of the browser and server, Atom comes to mind

So, I'm pretty sure you're just being intentionally stupid.

In the context of JavaScript, it should be fairly obvious that the "client" is a web browser.

the fact that you couldn't understand me 3 times in a row, should easily prove the fact that misunderstandings / poor explanations can be given

and it wasn't fairly obvious, I work software, not web-dev. using a browser as an application host is something I know of, but I do not spend any time thinking about.

as I said, atom jumps to mind

that being said, I knew that my interpretation was wrong (I actually had to explain that my initial view was wrong, 4 times, to you, my god) so I looked for more information

which is the meat of my complaint, it doesn't provide information

all you have been doing is telling me that my interpretation, which I considered incorrect, is incorrect. I don't know what you are trying to achieve with that

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8415363 "hmm, maybe I'm missing something here"

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8415420 me saying my interpretation was meaningless, and also very specific use of the word "either"

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8415472 me saying my interpretation was meaningless again

and then you finally tell me my interpretation was wrong. I think I know its wrong.
