Like, say, sharing hashing functions, templating, encoding or math libraries? Not useful at all.

Actually yeah, that doesn't sound very useful.

Math (significant math), encoding and hashing being done on the client sounds like a poorly designed application. Same for templating on the server -- which I assume you mean manually compiling templates using a library, and sending the result to a client, perhaps as a property of a JSON object.
