But the real truth is I hate having to program in multi-languages with different rules. Programming the server side is completely different than the client side. No wonder someone came up with node.js.

And if you add in frameworks and maybe some other generators you can get a real mess. Just think about it - will it be that you (the programmer) will become "the jack of all trades and the master of none".

Is it possible to build a framework that gets close to what VFP did - I think so. But at what cost! And in the end will you have the so call benefits of the web? Maybe - but I bet it will be short lived - because the web is changing way to fast and what you design today will old school tomorrow.
