Spike Brehm and Pete Hunt interviewed at Fluent 2014
summary
Defines isomorphic (same-form) JavaScript as code that runs on client and server and claims concrete wins: faster page loads, better SEO, and fewer duplicated routes and helpers. Lists tools that actually ship: React for view rendering, Browserify and webpack (with webpack entry points and shared vendor bundles) for packaging, Node for server runtime, and a render library powering a mobile site. Reports replacing many Rails instances with a handful of Node servers and shows the approach working end to end.
