Interesting hearing about "server side languages for the front end" - especially in proximity of all the hubbub about Server Side Rendering in React and other javascript based languages. (And also how much vitriol javascript inspires in so many full stack folk)
SSR in React feels like teaching the new dog old tricks. And overall the trend to do more server side and ship the HTML over the wire... heh. I remember this one time I stumbled on some little used JQuery syntax that was geared at smoothing replacing part of page content with the HTML from a server query:
$('#someElement').load('url_to_your_server_page');
(Interestingly, GPT 4 knew that command I half-remembered, while GPT 3.5 used more typical ajax commands)
So, like, there's nothing new under the sun! (but there sometimes seems to be a weird acceptance of increasing complexity and size of the cross section of what folks need to know to do their job properly.)
