The point of Node is that it uses JavaScript, and browsers only speak JavaScript. You have three choices: (1) use Node, (2) duplicate code client- and server-side, or (3) use server-side code that compiles to JS. Right now 3 is the least popular (and 2 is the most) but I think it will end up being the accepted solution in a couple years.

Or use a plug-in in the browser that speaks your language of choice.
