  • It wasn’t required, but id wager 99% of website that exist currently run JS in some form or another for something.

    Id wager its impossible to have anything dynamic on a webpage without JS (minus visual dynamics which can be handled with css), at that point you have to replace it with a different programming language and every browser needs to completely change gears to allow other code to run instead. But what advantage is gained by changing to another programming language? Cleaner code w/ less jankyness? Sure I guess, but we would be moving mountains to accomplish a silly thing.

    I’m wondering if many people in this thread understand what JS is and does.

    All of the people replying to this saying you shouldn’t need JS are totally unaware how modern web development works.

    Yes, you could do many sites without JS, but the entire workforce for web development is trained with JS frameworks. To do otherwise would slow development time down significantly, not allow for certain functionality to exist (functionality you would 100% be unhappy was missing).

    Its not a question of possibility, its a question of feasibility.
