> SPA have lots of advantages: fewer languages to learn, easier to deploy, etc.
The two examples you give are only true if you don't have a backend at all. As soon as you have a backend, you're back to having to pick a backend language and deploy a backend server.
If your app doesn't need a backend, then I'd agree that an SPA is the way to go.
I think the person you're replying to is implying using JS/Node for both front- and back-end.
