I've started developing some simple apps with Wt (http://www.webtoolkit.eu http://www.webtoolkit.eu) and it's really cool. It lets you develop web apps in a widget oriented way, and completly abstract the client/server communication. It's not javascript on the server but that's fine. I actually used the Jwt (java version) with Jruby and Groovy, which is translated from their C++ codebase.
