I see VuePress just went 1.0. Explained simply, it's a static site generator based on Vue. But of course, you work in Vue, which means you work in components.
All the modern JavaScript frameworks are component-based. Even when they disagree with each other about specific things (like how Svelte requires compilation), they all seem to agree on the model of working in components. React is all components. A popular static site generator for React is Next.js. The Vue version of that is Nuxt.js.
Then there is Gatsby which is all React. (Listen to our latest ShopTalk Show as we discuss it.) Gridsome seems like the most 1-to-1 comparison in Vue-land, the notable comparison being how they both are designed to suck in data from any source. Components though, of course. I'm not sure there is a flagship Angular-based static site generator, but they are out there, and Angular is components all the way down.
Components are so ubiquitous that perhaps you don't even think about it anymore. But you might feel it, particularly if you jump back and forth between projects that aren't component-driven. WordPress development, generally, I feel, isn't component driven. Sure, you've got your header.php and footer.php files and such. You can break those apart however you want, but it's rather ad-hoc. You aren't explicitly building components and feeding those components local data and testing them as such. (You can get a lot closer with something like Timber.)
Building front-ends out of server-side code is absolutely fine. Server-side rendering is rife with advantages. But server-side languages don't seem to have embraced components the way JavaScript has. And since everyone seems to like components (front-end devs obviously love it, designers think that way anyway, back-end devs understand it...) it's no surprise to me to see this surge of beloved projects build server-side (or build-time) generated sites from JavaScript, simply because it's component-based and components are just a good idea.
