>A local browser cache copy of the data would certainly be fine, as long as you also have the business, event and UI layers logic sitting next. This would mean translating / converting the whole VFP code in javascript.

As I try to utilize validation against properties or datadictionary values, there is not that much to translate.
Also eliminating server round trips for simple validation helps busy servers.

Compilers do that all the time ;-)
The Esperanto has shades of true, but I would attribute it at least partially to Javascript being used as a necessity.
If you look a pyjamas, the concept did not originate with me.

The other option is to have the server in Node.Js - same language client and server.
If Javascript had a sister more beautiful...
