The damage to the web has been done.

JS certainly caused a lot of damage on many websites. But now - finally - we're getting to the point of having frameworks which can, by default, offer client-side routing with SSR and hydration without shipping large bundles of JS. Up to this point the frontend devs should have been more conservative and they should have thought twice whether they should really go all-in into an SPA. But now's the time when it's really starting to be a viable option. Next, Nuxt, Marko and Sapper are finally technologies highly worth pursuing, even for content-based websites.
