There was one, it is called Meteor.js. However, it is widely regarded as ahead of its time.

Maybe the time is now?

What happened to it? I thought it seemed pretty neat and thought of using it for a project before the requirements changed.

Not enough users, too ahead of its time (nobody wants full-stack JS application, yet), severe performance issues beyond simple demo.

I think the team behind Meteor.js went on to build a new product (https://www.apollographql.com/ if I remember correctly).
