Ruby on Rails had something like this...back in 2006. Behold the marvels of the hotness that was RJS, allowing you to dynamically update the browser with your favorite language, Ruby, without having to deal with that messy JavaScript rubyonrails.org/2006/3/28/rails-1-...
jQuery was not even 1 yet. Blackberry & Nokia were battling to be the king of mobile. And here we are, the seasons of tech progress have come circling back again. This time the code is isomorphic, JavaScript is not something to be avoided, & sites are lighter to work on browsers on a mobile phone (no iPhone back then). Amazing!
I remember pitching to Yehuda Katz & Carl Lerche @ Engine Yard HQ a RPC library based on RJS & jQuery early 2010 to integrate server & client side code. I was quite proud of it. Yehuda was not interested as they were instead working on this client side rendering library...which I believe became EmberJS & were more interested in client/server at the time.
I'm certain there are many stories of similar patterns of evolution playing out in the history of tech. History rhymes...yada yada
