Javascript is not evil, evil is when it's used unnecessarily, and when your page displaying 4-5 pages of text starts out 2mb without images and becomes 15mb as I scroll to bottom because you're pinging various third parties for analytics and whatnot, and when I can't view you pages where the essence is a couple paragraphs of text but you wanted to render it via Javascript and I have it blocked and you not whitelisted, and when I hesitate to use my schools web services for important things that may affect my academic career but god knows what's gonna break when on that halfe-arsed website, and especially when you mess with my history (my pet peeve).
These "you"s are rhetorical BTW, I'm not addressing kqr directly.
- zeveb 10y ago> Javascript is not evil We-e-ell, it's not a good language. But it's what we have. I agree, though, that it can be used well and does have a place in writing good web pages and sites, but that when it is used to create horrible 'web apps' it is being used for evil.
