I'm happy about Drew's decision to not include JS.
- devwastaken 8y agoAs I just stated, you don't need to have 1MB of JS to do things, it's that software companies typically do it because they're about actually providing a service and solving problems than worrying about non-issues such as 1 second more of initial download time. This is 2018. You don't have a 56K modem, I don't have one. Those that do will benefit from smaller data requests after the initial download. Holding back the real issues the web can solve over an arbitrary problem like that is damaging to what can be achieved. The web is a software platform, and unless you want to equally complain about applications in C that go over 1MB, you're making mountains out of mole hills.
