Sure it does, but this doesn't mean that PHP wasn't rendering on the server. The term still applies to what PHP was doing. > Pointing out that JS has these unique opportunities is not even remotely the same as "forgetting" and "rediscovering" SSR. Pointing out those unique opportunities is not a problem, and I agree with you on that. But it has absolutely nothing to do with the usage of SSR or the term SSR. Also, using the same language on server and client is older than modern JS frameworks, which definitely counts as something being "rediscovered". And yes, is definitely a cool thing, nobody is claiming the contrary.
