I watched it, it reminded me a lot of opa [1].
The problem with opa was it generated a gigantic load of code and when I tried running a basic app I made (to learn the language), it set off alarms on dotCloud's system (as if I were bitcoin mining or something) even though I was the only person using it for 5 minutes.
I foresee similar problems with any other system that attempts to make the client and server a system on continuations.
Secondly.. yeah, creating disjoint systems can be frustrating to maintain together, but thinking a web browser is the only platform that will be supported can be really limiting in future developments.
