I might avoid some of Heroku’s current technological staples (e.g. Ruby)

What instead of Ruby?

They rewrite a lot in Go.

The author, while not at Heroku anymore, primarily works with Go now.

Anything, even Python.

I see. I mean I'd like to know how to structure the JavaScript (jQuery) code without involving heavy frameworks.

Then involve light (not-so-heavy) framework. E.g. Backbone.JS.

Perhaps I wasn't clear about it. I don't want to use react or angular, just jquery and other small libraries or components

Oh I see, should have noticed when you said pjax. I imagine some concepts will be applicable in any case, like:

- URL routing on both client/server: for navigation without page reload, as well as rendering the same content when the user lands on a particular page for the first time (or refreshes the page)

- Templates on both client/server: maybe you could share the same HTML (or Mustache, Pug, etc.) templates on both sides

- Passing initial state from server -> client: typically, a JS snippet can be injected in a page template to pass an object, so the client-side can sync the state (initial route, etc.)

- Dynamic loading of additional scripts: some routes may request additional scripts via AJAX/fetch, in which case a small library/wrapper may be useful, to know when it finished loading to do something
