What I REALLY want is a relatively clean implementation of MV* that I can re-use all parts client and server.. NodeJS is the natural platform, but I haven't really seen much that makes reusing rendering, models and business logic client and server to a natural point. I know that there are people working on this, but I think that getting closer to a solution that can easily converge on such re-use for really dynamic apps, maybe mobile being more server-side, and desktop/tablet being more client will do very well in the end.
Agreed - server side rendering for the first time you hit a website, pushstate and client side rendering for subsequent navigation makes for some very smooth UX.
- Derby.JS is one such a full-stack framework.
- There's also Meteor but this has a little less community support.
- Eyebrow.JS is coming (there's a number of blog posts and talk videos) but I'm not sure if it's released yet.
