Every attempt to replace front-end development by back-end code until now I have ever witnessed was a complete and utter failure. Yes, transpilers like GWT, emscripten and Web Assembly allow back-end code to run in the browser, but that doesn't invalidate the necessity for someone who can do the maintenance on these - and this individual will invariably have to be sufficient in front-end development.
And even if we replaced all the logic by back-end code, front-end developers have way more experience about the surrounding issues like accessibility and cross-browser-(in)compatibility.
But yes, front-end will change, but it has changed again and again for some time. So I would say that this change is a constant and it's actually the same old front-end development that we're used to never become used to.
