I'm tired of discussions concerning "Javascript" and "the web" where absolutely conclusions appear to be drawn. JS is a language, the web is a platform. Ofcourse overusage of JS results in annoying bloated websites, but when you want to build interactive applications that can easily be distributed to the entire world, the combination of JS + web is a virtue. The web isn't only for displaying static content, it's time to accept that.

- indalo 7y agoYeah, I've never understood the yearning for effectively plain text html. I remember recently a submission that had a "brutalist" styleguide. I wonder how much of this is a reaction to the complex and volatile nature of frontend patterns, in a psychological sense.
