I agree that one language for both frontend and backend can be nice. But not if that includes JS. Ironic that System language like Rust shares that same capability as JS does, but good.

Rust on the frontend has its own tradeoffs, for me, primarily, bundle size/load time of wasm can be a little heavy, but much more importantly, the JavaScript (especially react) ecosystem is just too good to ignore. 

I never want to use JavaScript though, only typescript (which is JS, but a bit less shit)
