In what way has that been a boon? Context switching between languages, especially PHP, seems like an even bigger headache. Is it strlen($var) or var.length or mb_strlen($var)?
Do you ever output JavaScript from PHP?
My biggest question though is how do you avoid ever duplicating logic between js and PHP? Validation logic, especially, but business logic leaks between the two, I've found. Doing it all in Next saves me from that particular problem.
spoken like a middle manager.
why would anyone send JavaScript from the php? why care about duplicating a couple json translations and null checks... it's all code is today anyway.
and switching languages? you can't use most of js as it is. even something as simple as split() have so many weird bugs that everyone just code from a utils lib anyway.
Oh hey, insults. Those are fun.
spoken like someone who's not experienced enough to realize that duplicated code needs to be kept in sync, and then when it inevitably isn't, it'll lead to incidents, and also can't write JavaScript without using leftpad.
