ChrisA,

Yes, you are correct.  The scripts get compiled to javascript and then
executed in the browser.   Like you say, there are limitations, but most of
these focus around browser security issues,  and on the plus side, these
scripts do not get executed on the server side, so that helps reduce risk
there as well.
