The web is better without JavaScript. I can't wait until it is looked down upon as hamfisted and passé, as Flash is now.
- jaywunder 11y agoWhy is the web worse with javascript? I think one if the main reasons flash was bad because it's proprietary, whereas js isn't. Also, you didn't address any of OP's points about the separation of styling and function.
- orthoganol 11y agoI don't think taking JS out of small UI pieces is a 'victory' for those who don't like JS, since the main engine behind the JS trend is building apps with 'native experience,' single page style apps, and that's a web development paradigm in itself centered on JS. However I do believe JS will lose most of its popularity when web technology gets even faster. The slight performance boosts that JS gives you now - which is the predominant reason it's become so popular - won't matter as much; if things are so fast that you don't need an ajax architecture, you won't need front end JS frameworks.
