If I Understand This Correctly,

pas2js treated program would run in a browser, client side only ?
And does not care what the server is, because it does not run on server ?

For 'server' side you then write 'as usual' e.g. cgi or other way available
(server-native binary)

(Nothing stops really the server-side-native binary (e.g. written in Pascal)
 from sending a pas2js transpiled program to the browser as a part of a 'html page'/script,
 but the line of separation is pretty clear here : this is like doing Graeme's favorite GUI to non-gui portion separation ';) 
 but still YOU are doing the separation manually - you need to write BOTH portions separately)

For communication between the browser end and the server end, there are ways covered 
(AJAX ?) not much different than the usual (js in browser <-> java/php/perl/python/server side js in server)
LAMP stack does.

(I sincerely hope I understand this right).
