  Minimal templating with {{mustaches}} in JavaScript

Pretty much your only way to add interactivity on a website in the early days was through a page refresh. This would usually be in the form of an HTML Form tag that would POST some data to the server, and the response would send you to another page. This is an extreme of what your describing of having all the logic on the server, and basically no "brain" on the html itself. Things like PHP or a templating engine like https://mustache.github.io/ are closer to this model. (My expertise on these kind of frameworks is pretty limited, so sorry If I made a mistake here!)
