It is possible to combine Backbone.js and Vue.js to develop a web application.

1. First, we can use Backbone.js to define models and collections, and use the Backbone.sync API to interact with the server.

2. Then, we can use Vue.js to create components and use the Vuex library to manage the application's state.

3. We can use Vue.js to render the views and use the Backbone events to update the application's state.

Example code

// Create a Vuex store
const store = new Vuex.Store({
  state: {
    ...
  },
  mutations: {
    ...
  },
  actions: {
    ...
  }
})

// Create a Vue component
const App = {
  template: `
    <div>
      ...
    </div>
  `,
  data() {
    return {
      ...
    }
  },
  methods: {
    ...
  }
}

// Create a Backbone model
const Model = Backbone.Model.extend({
  url: '...',
  parse(data) {
    return data
  }
})

// Create a Backbone collection
const Collection = Backbone.Collection.extend({
  model: Model,
  url: '...'
})

// Create a Vue instance
const vm = new Vue({
  el: '#app',
  store,
  components: { App },
  mounted() {
    // Fetch data from the server
    const collection = new Collection()
    collection.fetch()
    // Update the store with the fetched data
    this.$store.commit('updateData', collection)
  }
})

4. We can use Vuex to store the application's state, and the Backbone events to update the state when the data changes.

5. We can use the Vuex store to pass data to the Vue components, and use the Backbone sync API to update the data on the server.

6. Finally, we can use the Vue.js router to handle the application's routing.

7. We can also use the Backbone.Router to handle the application's routing.
