The easiest web apps can be made with node.js web application server. Both server code and client code are written in javascript with the client using html for format and display of the application.

Nodejs.org

In contrast, writing Java web apps requires writing Java servlets on the server side and then using javascript on the client side. Similarly for other types of web apps.
