For past 4 years, there is NPM, and there is people trying to explain why you should build your software with modules instead of frameworks.
I'm saying this as somebody grew up there. You have to ask the experience of those who actually experience the discrimination, not speaking on behalf of them. Where else in the world we have racists burning houses belong to minorities alive in 2010s? Even last year, a singer couldn't give a concert to the Turkish people there because she couldn't get a visa. If she gets visa, she may not pass the border since all the officers ask you "why are you in Germany?" and if you say you wanna travel they keep asking "travelling where?" "shopping what?" "studying what?" Now even celebs bring newspapers to show the officers to prove that they won't stay too long there!
It's a fact that being a middle eastern or being from a middle eastern influenced country let you face different attitude everywhere in the world. I'm saying this as an atheist guy who had to face it.

And as a minority in Oakland, I feel like home and I know enough horror stories to avoid visiting Germany as long as I don't have a good reason.
So how come unemployed people from poor neighbor countries can just go Germany and do prostution? It sounds realistic at first hear but thinking about the border officers in Germany, I think you kinda wanna think majority of the prostutes are not Germans.
Lots of people lost their lives, lots of people lost their eyes by pepper gas bullets this year, including this 15 years old kid: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_of_Berkin_Elvan

So if you're a single guy writing everything by yourself, yeah you can also use your own programming language for both backend and frontend.
web frameworks do two things and they're terrible on both. they invent a lot of stuff that you'll likely try to get rid of a later time and it's gonna be too late since your codebase (both frontend and backend) is locked.
but API servers are not like that. they lead you the right (and the more productive) way; composing small libraries into something ideal for you. I'm not sure if it makes sense for people who tend to use frameworks but this works for me great. may be it's my taste
I compose APIs from Go and NodeJS servers and get really good productivity & performance benefits. And this is what I use; http://github.com/azer/atlas
