Too much latency.  Also, people don't have servers.  They want to put 
this on their homepage.  Imagine what would happen if people (= average 
Joe) were required to setup and run servers just to put an audio clip on 
their page, for example.

Translating to JS is *perfect* for this.  Some applications just don't 
belong on the server.
