Isomorphic JavaScript

The naming of the term 'Isomorphic JavaScript' has been a matter of controversy.^[1] The term 'isomorphic' was first coined by Charlie Robbins from Nodejitsu, in one of the company's blog posts.^[2] Spike Brehm, a software engineer from Airbnb, wrote another blog post using the same term.^[3] However, others have proposed to use the term Universal JavaScript instead.^[1][4]

There have been several isomorphic JavaScript frameworks and libraries created, most notably Miso and Meteor. Others include Next.js, Nuxt, SvelteKit, Rendr, Derby, Ezel and Catberry.^{[citation needed]}
