I do not like javascript.
It definitely has its uses, but in my opinion many web developers use it as a
crutch. I use uBlock origin to block javascript by default. Do you know how many
websites don't work with this setting enabled? About 8 out of 10 times I visit a
site, I get the "Please enable javascript" message, a blank white screen or a
website that doesn't respond to any inputs. This is absolutely ridiculous. I
don't expect to get a fully working website, but you should at least provide
basic functionality.
If your website doesn't even load without javascript enabled, then your website
is shit.
Reconsider your approach. Don't just use whatever js framework is the current
flavour of the month (because a new js framework seems to appear every couple of
weeks). Build a working website with html+css and THEN use javascript to ENHANCE
your website. Don't make it a requirement! Use simple AJAX (if you even remember
what this is), instead of full-blown frameworks.
- I don't like javascript
- I think the language in itself can sometimes be pretty stupid
- 90% of websites are bloated as hell and take way too long to load because of
it
- it makes websites inaccessible to users that are blocking javascript if your
site requires js to provide basic functionality, let alone load
Entire video games used to fit on a 32MB Nintendo 64 cartridge. Many websites
nowadays require more than that, because of javascript.
If you are a web developer, please don't use js or at least use it sparingly.
This website will never use javascript.
