I think breaking the pillars of the modern web is kind of the point here. JavaScript is necessary for web applications and it can be enabled manually for those, but it shouldn't be needed for static text.
- benatkin 6y agoJavaScript frameworks like Next and Nuxt are great at generating static markup. One thing slowing them down a bit, and giving AMP a larger share of attention, is that not enough people are browsing with JavaScript disabled. Disabling JavaScript on the browser doesn't mean JavaScript is out of the picture. =)
- userbinator 6y agoIndeed, I don't think the people arguing against JS are arguing against all uses of it --- rather, it's become synonymous with "client-side scripting/code execution", and even if that was a totally different language, the point still stands.
- emptyparadise 6y agoI think most people, me included, specifically mean client side JavaScript in conversations like this.
- benatkin 6y agoWell, with Next and Nuxt, the client side JavaScript is also running on the server. It's isometric. So you turn it off, but it keeps running.
