The unfamiliar syntax can be boiled down to this: a server-side Javascript framework for building web pages.
To decompose this buzzword-compliant sentence: CouchApps is an API of sorts that CouchDB has that allows you to extract data from the database and embed it into a template and send it to the browser as an HTML page. It runs in CouchDB itself and functions as an HTTP server (hence server-side), and it uses a JS framework to do its magic.
The framework allows you to embed CSS files, images and the like, and the directory structure shown in the post hints at what goes where.
