See also https://github.com/medikoo/modules-webmake the idea is to use same module "format" on server and client side, so you can easily share same code on both sides. I use it with success. Currently I work with application for which client-side code is built of over 200 Node.js style modules and 60% of those modules are also used on server-side.
