Why are you talking as if embedding server-side logic in HTML is necessary to experiment and iterate quickly? I can get up and running with a Python project in seconds and can iterate quickly with that. “This is good because it enables you to iterate quickly” isn’t a good argument when you can iterate quickly regardless. |

Necessary? Not quite.
But having those things be closer together leading to faster iteration? I'd argue that that's definitely true, same as how someone could skip out on writing a bunch of enterprise programming patterns, MVC or even tests, as well as use a language with a dynamic type system, or even write serverless functions. Not that any of that is very maintainable long term, but at the same time nobody would expect that from something that's very much like a REPL.
It's the same as how I like to have a clearly separated front end (typically a SPA) and a back end API (something RESTful) in most cases so that those technologies wouldn't be coupled and the API could be re-used as necessary, except that people who go for the various SSR and templating approaches typically code around me in circles, because they don't have to write as much API client code as I do.
