The way I read it is that we should write our code and have it generate into Javascript, not write the Javascript. This is the approach MS has already hinted at through it's various community mouthpieces, Hanselman being probably the best known and respected.

I don't see that he's arguing that no code should be running on the client, although that's another important discussion which IMO these days should be part of any development project.
