That's not really an argument for writing server code in javascript, since you could instead find a way of transpiling your favourite language to javascript and use it on the client and server. I give you typescript, clojurescript, haste, and GHCJS as examples.

That would depend a lot on the story for using npm modules in your favourite language and your transpiled code. If it's not possible, it's a non-starter.

And why would you write ClojureScript to use on the server, when you could just use Clojure?
