Well, everything is still based on CPU registers, but I guess everybody here prefers the abstraction provided by C, Python, Java, Ruby, JavaScript, or Go.

  Nobody calls JavaScript "computerless" or "codeless".

    Because the abstraction already has a name: high level language.

      That's not the reason why people don't call JavaScript "computerless" or "codeless" though. I think serverless is a bit sensationalistic and ultimately unhelpful of a name. I don't blame new projects for adopting the term since it's already in the public awareness, but I can't say I'm a fan.
