We welcome edits that make the post easier to understand and more valuable for readers. Because community members review edits, please try to make the post substantially better than how you found it, for example, by fixing grammar or adding additional resources and hyperlinks.

You are mixing up clients side with front end. In enterprise applications, the backend is the place where the data is stored and orders are processed, including the bigger business logic. the front end is the stuff that calls these backend systems to drive the webside (with whatever technology), a desktop app, or a mobile app. This is all considered front end coding. Next up is client side versus server side, but i'm running out of room here.

I don't see how your answer addresses the primary question of why different languages are used for front and back ends.
