This is pretty silly. The site's clearly designed with further extendability in mind; this just means that when the author does want to make it into a full site he'll have to convert it back into JavaScript.

I agree, the best way to accommodate future scope creep is to write bloated code from day one

  24k lines removed are from SproutCore and jQuery. I don't think that's bloat.

    The issue isn't size, it's technique. Generating a small static HTML page from a JSON object using a multitude of JS libraries is overkill and degrades poorly. Not to mention all the other issues it causes: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2598273 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2598273 Annotated HTML is the best tool for the job here.

"designed with further extendability in mind" is very vague. How about implementing only what's necessary? Unless everyjs.com is in fact just the authors' sandbox.
