jQuery codebases are great at 2 LOC and complete nightmares at 2M LOC.

Sounds like one of those bad SPA in the making. You know, without browser navigation, without an url that can be revisited.
I'm over it. Even the simplest SPAs end up being way more effort than they are worth IMO. I'd write thin API layers and it seemed great.

Everything is so much faster, primarily because JS has so many gotchas. And so many times where you wonder "wait why isn't the data right here? Shouldn't this have blown up".
There is no appreciable difference to the user here but I can work in a backend lang and sparingly use JS and it's a pleasure.
