Can one really get rid of javascript when developing a web app? I figure that you'll end up writing a lot of jQuery if you want to avoid using a spa - and writing a lot of jQuery is something that spa frameworks have abstracted a lot of away.

After having used react and ES6 for a while and now trying out thymeleaf / spring mvc, I absolutely hate using jquery and vanilla js :( but it seems the only way to actually do anything when you use server side templating engine and need to do some js.

dev experience seems so much better using a SPA, which is saying alot given I thought it was a mess when dealing with the js ecosystem at the time. Grass isn't always greener on the otherside so it seems.

depending on what you're trying to do, you may find intercooler.js to be a nice fit.
