> Were you writing the same queries on the client and the server? Well, yeah, that's the idea, isn't it? These days every language under the sun compiles to javascript, why wouldn't you want shared model, validation, queries, etc.? > Yes, it's a pain to have to know two different technologies, but it doesn't seem like this often leads to literally needing to scrap code and rewrite it. Currently working in an Angular 5 + TypeScript frontend with Scala on the backend, a shared nothing architecture, really blows compared to a single typed shared everything stack. All the stats based queries run on the server? Throw 'em out and manually recalculate on the client, probably literally 100X the amount of code; less efficient and error prone to boot. Same for form validation, model layer (hey, why does this new property exist client-side and not on the server?), etc. -- it's a house of cards.
