Even the chat application mentioned previously could be viewed as (and implemented as) "documents with forms". This oversimplification doesn't help us much. It's the powerful, real-time interactivity that javascript provides that is being debated here.
- naniwaduni 8y agoThe question is whether the real-time interactivity is desirable. For a chat widget, it almost certainly is. It's less clear for something like Reddit, where the main mechanism for getting updates to the page you're currently viewing is to explicitly refresh.
