> your post saying you can't do anything with only JS
I ... didn't say that?
I meant your comment:
>Let's be fair: you're going to be very limited in terms of the type of web site you can make with this approach compared with a PHP app via web server
Which translates to me that you have the impression that JS is limited in usage, which it simply isn't.
Things like webrtc and other node, changed the way JS can be used and for the things it can be used.
Nobody would write a php app without js today and you can use js server side with nodejs, same as php and php fpm.
