Meteor (and similar) may be the closest to this right now. With Meteor, your frontend and backend code and potentially your database can all use JavaScript and be in the same codebase, deployment in at least simpler scenarios is very easy, and modules exist to integrate other libraries with the framework.

Thanks. I had discovered Meteor only recently (being a web development newbie).

What other libraries would you recommend to have everything required for making a basic web application. The end-result should include a responsive front-end, user authentication and security, reports, charts and visualizations, forms, blog, payments, and finally an ability to integrate pre-existing Java code in the back end. Apologies if something I am saying is not making sense.

It almost sounds like you want a CMS, like Drupal or Joomla.

Thanks. Just looked over their websites. The learning curve is still a bit too high. I discovered Caspio [1] that seems to be the most like what I am imagining. Microsoft's Lightswitch also looked promising but again did not seem to have all needed parts.
