I'm curious to hear what others think about the trend of sending data over-the-wire and rendering HTML on the client. Twitter did this for a while. They still do, but they switched back from a 100% API-driven model to a serverside first render, subsequent API-driven model. That allows them to render the page as quickly as possible (you don't have to wait for the DOM to be ready) while still allowing later partial renders.
