I see it as a reflection of the website's overall design stance: no frills, no stupid material design, no js junk scripts. Just a fast-loading website that loads what it needs to. This kind of website is quite refreshing in 2018. Maybe one day it will have a tiny amount of JS, but let's cross that bridge when it comes. That's still better than the vast majority of modern websites built today.

It does already have some JS. On the builds page, when it is running a build, it refreshes every second to show new output.

  This is accomplished without JavaScript.

    There’s a script tag on the builds page that reloads the page every second, according to the page source. How is that not JavaScript?

      The key to doing it without JavaScript is this: <meta id="refresh" http-equiv="refresh" content="5"> The script you found removes it and does it a different way so it can scroll to the bottom. Optional progressive enhancement.

        Ah, optional JavaScript. Makes sense

  Even if it did have JS, I think most of the crowd would be fine with minimal JS also, since there are some legitimate use cases. Having JS is not the end of the world, but today's standard is to completely abuse it, leading to horrifically bloated websites.
