I love how web development has gone full circle. In 2006 I wrote a chatroom site that was server-side with Ruby on Rails-based javascript sprinkled in for realtime page updates. It was long polling of a single HTTP request (websockets didn't exist then) but it worked extremely well. Never liked SPAs and the npm bloat. Happy that stuff like Svelte and Phoenix is taking it back to the server-side with JS sprinkles place which seems optimal to me.
