(author here) Good point. TBH, I have no idea what "isomorphic" means in the mathematical sense.
I was inspired to use "isomorphic" from a 2011 article by Nodejitsu [1]. It seemed like a fine way to describe this approach. I would gladly use a better would if I were to find one.

- williamcotton 13y agoHow about "monomorphic", having or existing in only one form?
- wrongc0ntinent 13y agoTechnically, you're correct, see the biology and chemistry use of the word. But seeing how you're dealing with a mathematically inclined audience, there will be disapproval. I think it's a very useful concept in general, the more it gets out into the world, the better.
- btilly 13y agoI like relocatable JavaScript.
- yuchi 13y agoIt's the first time that I hear about it, and I do not dislike relocatable at all
- poissonpie 13y agoWhat about simply DRY? isn't that what you're aiming for - having code sharable between client and server such that you don't have two pieces of code that do the same thing in two different places?
- bpizzi 13y agoShall "multiplateform javascript [code]" be suitable here? Looks like this is all it's about: having a single js code generating the same results, with no dependance on the plateform.
- frontendbeauty 13y agoI like "multiplatform" -- current winner :)
- drdaeman 13y ago> I have no idea what "isomorphic" means in the mathematical sense. Programmers these days!...
- spikels 13y agoThere are only two hard things in Computer Science: cache invalidation and naming things. A few ideas: "End-to-End JavaScript" - popular but not exactly what you mean but close "Run Anywhere JavaScript" "Write Once JavaScript" "Two Sided JavaScript" - server-side and browser-side "Browse-N-Serve Javascript"
