Author here. Some of you are saying that this will lead to bloated, JS-heavy websites. I disagree. The JS necessary for making a single page app can be done with something like 10 lines of JS (plus jQuery or something similar, but that is already included in most normal pages anyway).

A single page app isn't JS-heavy by definition, and a "normal" page (with HTML generated on the server) can easily be JS-heavy. It all depends on how you program it. Just keep in mind that single page apps don't necessarily need to use heavy frontend frameworks such as Knockout, Ember or AngularJS.
