there is a place for both. There are certain things that make sense for server side rendering. If I have a blog, why render it on client side, its evergreen content... makes sense for the server to deliver the static content. For web apps, there is a lot of value to client side rendering.
Well said. RESTfulness will ALWAYS have its place, and blogs are the example par excellence. Even in Node, which prides itself on its async/non-blocking capabilities, there are all kinds of ways to incorporate REST.
