More than a few years ago, but ASP.NET WebForms with the AJAX Control Toolkit did this. It was terrible for many reasons, but it did allow you to use one set of tools for everything.
I started my career with .NET and used/abused the AJAX controls too. Some of those sites are still running today, and still remain fast and responsive and simple to maintain.
The new cutting edge with Blazor is even more impressive and a serious contender for non-JS frontends. Similar advancements with Elixir/Liveview and Ruby/Hotwire
