It doesn't matter if CRUD apps are easy to write, the point is there's market demand. And for some reason you write them off as trivial, but I've seen some business logic/requirements that'll make your head spin.

This type of position is becoming way more common. But I imagine many of them would prefer to work with one language anyways (I do). It keeps things simple. One language to be an expert on, that can be interviewed for, one testing library, one debugger, one set of coding standards. It's kind of a no brainer. I'd argue that almost any expert front-end dev can be a decent back-end developer.
