This is confusing to me. From the article it sounds like the javascript is run on the server producing markup. That markup is sent to the browser for rendering then the javascript is requested by the browser. When the javascript arrives it is run again on the browser to re-generate the DOM with event handlers attached. If that is correct then why is the javascript run on the server to begin with and not just sent directly to the browser?
Is the idea to take advantage of the server's horsepower to get something on the screen fast by sending pre-rendered HTML and then wait while the browser runs the code to basically re-create the page for interactivity?
