Next.js isn’t one giant workaround for anything. People were building isomorphic SPAs using React long before Next was created. All Next.js did is to put it all together in a simple framework.

Some googling tells me that isomorphic SPA means the same page can be rendered server side or client side. Is that what it means to you? It's my first time encountering the term. If so ... people were doing that in react??

I’ve been doing that in React since around 2014.

What alternatives would you propose? Usually when people are surprised by this, digging in reveals that they don’t really know what “client-side rendering” means.

For anyone else out there confused: Next.js != Nest.js.

I don’t think anyone has heard of nest.js and just assume it’s a typo of next.js
It’s really a pity because nest.js is an awesome and very intuitive backend framework. Because it’s written on top of express, the real power comes from being able to drop down to the express layer anytime.
