I agree that the term Isomorphic isn't necessarily the best, but I do think it makes sense to have some sort of label that people recognize for the same code that runs in multiple places. Enough people have a sense of what 'Isomorphic JavaScript' means now that the term is likely here to stay until you or someone else starts marketing a different term. Getting past the terminology, you make a good point about how non-JavaScript languages could technically be seen in the same "isomorphic" light. In my mind, the more valuable thing the higher level concept of writing code once that can be effectively and efficiently used at any layer of your stack. The reason why I like to do this with JavaScript is that I can do it more effectively and efficiently than what I have seen in other languages.
