Umm... yes. If browser-based JS is ever able to ship in an completely compiled form, some people may be comfortable enough to ship their core business logic around that way, but until then, no dice. The large number of services that 'server side' languages end up talking to - shipping/delivery services, financial services, etc - will likely never (well, not any time soon) be comfortable with letting every single browser connect directly to them for whatever info they need. Number crunching large sets of data? Server-side - scale up/out. Running in browser? Won't happen. Too many other things need to happen - new browser functionality and security models, compiled code, etc - before this even has a hope of making a real dent in server-side dev.
