You can code client-side in Lisp now (or your favorite JS-targeted language). I do it every day.

That's true. You're not encapsulated from JS, so you have to be aware of JS issues like null-undefined-false-0 and all the rest of them. So it feels like you're writing in two languages at once. On the other hand, that has some benefits too.
