To get the best of both worlds, use each tool where it works best.
1. Use Java Applets in the browser to get Java's famously good start up times and the kind of Security that comes with complex interactions between JavaScript and a Java Applet that has elevated permissions
2. Use interpreted JavaScript on the server (not Node.js)
Use Windows as the Server OS, in order to get the kind of security, robustness and stability you've come to expect from Microsoft
Use Linux on the Desktop to get it's legendary ease of use*
(* however Linux ease of use is great in the last few years)
(I hope I do not need to add a humor tag)
