It's not clear to me what you're expecting from a JavaScript 'framework'. It seems like you're looking for an all-encompassing backend and frontent framework? Try to go for a more loosely coupled approach and look beyond MVC[1] frameworks in general. I'd suggest trying React for the front end. It's not a framework, but it will definitely influence the general architecture of your app. That is, you'll probably end up using some form of 'Flux'. http://facebook.github.io/react/docs/flux-overview.html http://facebook.github.io/react/docs/flux-overview.html [1] Nothing wrong with MVC as an architecture, but most attempts to reify in a framework don't work out IMO. Pretty much same goes for OOP.
