I would go so far as to say javascript hurts the web. If hacker news was written like facebook the user numbers wouldn't be the same. Endless transitions, spas, waiting for loading, glitches, popups with fades, all that is a waste of time - the user just wants to read text. I want clean loading, just simple clean html, fast rendering, nothing processed after i get the html rendered. What would be rad is a facebook.clean where you can just HN style rendering, clean tables, the browser keeps track of what you clicked, super fast interactions etc.
