For the modern web browser doing all presentation in JavaScript (preferably TypeScript) makes a hell of a lot of sense. Just in case anybody is confused, the backend services not related to micro service aggregation or rendering are still all Java.

Makes sense, Java is excellent at serving content, but not necessarily creating it. Combine that with the fact that computers now are pretty powerful on average and this system is pretty useful for a company with as much traffic add Netflix.
