Java is the one I've seen employed both sides almost equally,otherwise
what you say is broadly true. If we are talking browsers.

If we are talking generic custom client server apps, there are no real
restrictions on what you wrote either end in, beyond the ability of the
platform to support the code.

Ineptocracy

(in-ep-toc’-ra-cy) – a system of government where the least capable to
lead are elected by the least capable of producing, and where the
members of society least likely to sustain themselves or succeed, are
rewarded with goods and services paid for by the confiscated wealth of a
diminishing number of producers.
