> I think I've asked this question before over here, but it seems to have slipped my mind what was said - I'd like to know: is there any way to do server side programming in JS to generate a webpage, with the code bits "inserted" into the HTML bits, like <?php does for PHP?

There has been Server-side JavaScript on Netscape Enterprise Server and its
successors.

Nowadays only ASP (.NET) with JScript (.NET), and Node.js with Google V8
JavaScript come to mind.

This is not “otherwise”, so I do not follow.

No, you can wait for the data to arrive.  Also, you can only query and
display chunks of the data, and cache them server-side and client-side.

Usually chunking and/or AJAX/XHR/Fetch is the proper solution nowadays.
The programming language used server-side is secondary.
