Could you provide some links/keywords about these alternative solutions? This sounds very interesting but I don't know were to start.
Is unclear to me if you talk about Delphi and smalltalk?

I am interested in designs/technologies that could be viewed as alternatives to the usual tech stack for SPAs, even if these technologies are outdated but exhibit interesting properties compared to what we are used to today. That would include Smalltalk and Delphi yes. Sorry if I misunderstood your initial comment.
Well, Delphi is well alive and current:

(it have a free edition) and alzo exist Lazarus, a open source clone:
Is probably the most fleshed idea under more "traditional" paradigms (OOP, RAD, etc)
Smalltalk and others are less popular(?) and only know them passing, so can't give too much of that.

Another interesting stuff can be rebel/red:
much low-level but nice way to do UIs in a apparent declarative way..
In the past a 'SPAs' was build on top of more solid foundation like smalltalk or later Delphi. Most issues is that the browser stack, put it in real terms, is not the "right tool for the job" and will never will, without serious re-engineering.
