agree on 1 and 3.

As for 2, I think it makes sense. You can pre-render your GUI on the server side, so that clients get served proper html rather than an empty pile of js, and then have the same codebase take over on the client side, single-page-app style, just talking to the backend to fetch data.

That sounds good, but it only means that you have to be able to execute the client code on the server. You locally (i.e. on the server) simulate a client connecting and doing some rendering, then send a continuation to the real (remote) client.

Also - does Meteor do anything remotely like this? I doubt it.
