I write business applications for a living, and those tend to have lots of asynchronously loading data, dynamic UIs, and fancy little widgets like charts or graphs. Just because you never use them doesn't mean they don't exist.
- dozzie 10y agoYou do realize that those "fancy little widgets like charts or graphs" don't need JavaScript? We had them for dozen years before the "everything needs JavaScript" fad. OK, let's put charts and graphs aside. What do these business applications of yours do that need JavaScript and can't be equally well done traditionally, on the server side?
- ng12 10y agoI'd love to know how you'd build an interactive chart that live-updates with new data and has pan/zoom functionality without Javascript. Or how you'd asynchronously provide updates to a stream of events (e.g. Facebook) from the server-side.
