   Long-term I don't think you should need JavaScript! Unless you're using the web for "apps" I disagree with.

   Short-term... I think this is already the case for most webdevs! Even if the industry appears to disagree!

     @serapath Personal reason I care: It JS makes my browser-dev hobby harder & constrains my decisions.

     Also: I personally find JS makes webdev harder, not easier. And in my normal browsing is more frequently used to frustrate me than to aid me.

     As for the remark "who needs anything?", that's not something I can respond to.

     @alcinnz I encountered a website implementing it's own loading animation yesterday, replacing the browsers own with no improvement in functionality. This was a pretty traditional webpage, not an app.

     Why?

     @alcinnz I got this far in life not knowing much JS and I think I can keep going.

     @LovesTha I blame accidental collusion between educators teaching what gets people hired, & recruiters hiring on what gets taught!

     @serapath For the client-side web: I prefer enjoying how capable HTML/CSS are becoming, & were already!
     My remarks top-of-thread were suggesting these capabilities may surprise many webdevs!

     Outside that: I'm mainly enjoying Haskell, Lua, Julia, & Vala.

     @alcinnz
     interesting.

     i am quite happy when i encounter JS, that said - vanillaJS, not typescript, not one of the many in need for transpilation dialects and templating framework languages, but raw vanilla JS.

     what do you prefer instead? 🙂
