The stream part is easy enough, with pagination. I have no objection to hiding the pages with JavaScript, making any page 'bottomless.' Real-time notification, obviously, can't work without some sort of execution, but one could simply show notifications on the next page viewed (or calculate them when sending that page, or whatever).

Good thing that you're using a browser…
I'm not opposed to using JavaScript to speed things up or enhance them, but using it to deliberately break the Web is just wrong.
