What's to grok? Microsoft is putting word processors on the web, even. They don't want to go back to the server for all processing (word breaking, etc.) on entered text, I'm sure, and I doubt anyone else will want to either. Maybe you could be more explicit about what about the implementation language being JavaScript (which must currently include server-side applications like Node, of course) makes you confused, or why you think some specific application is inappropriate to perform in JS. I'm doing simple stemming and word-breaking by hand in JS on both server and client side, to facilitate "fuzzy" search over a moderate corpus. Making it work in non-English languages is a daunting prospect both implementation-wise and in terms of finding expertise in all relevant languages, and I don't think it should be that way.
