I like the idea of programming in one language. For example, using your favorite language on the backend and it generating a frontend as a compiled module. But using the same programming language for both.

Of course, people who program with NodeJS already have that. And it seems to have a lot of traction.

But debugging seems like it could be harder since Javascript is just there already for us.

But mostly it's an opportunity to take all our existing tech and tooling and start all over again. Hurray!

The software industry is obsessed with starting from scratch every few years.
