A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

I feel like I wrote this article. Lol
Btw, here is a fully functional and gorgeous website that has zero JavaScript https://linuxmint.com/
umm, that page loads several javascript files. jquery, popper, bootstrap, etc.
Yes, web developers don't use straight HTML because for anything that is not trivial, it's not sufficient The web today is a place to DO things, not READ things. Even if you are displaying "static" data, Javascript frameworks and libraries can help you write code once and then offload browser compatibility and desktop/mobile presentation formats.
If you add all the interactive elements, it gets even more complex. HTML is powerful and provides transparency, but it's not just the MBA crowd moving away from it.
Also, as desktop applications are quickly being deprecated for browser-based apps, there is more movement to frameworks, and libraries.
Did you mean to respond to someone else? I didn't say devs shouldn't use javascript, I just said that the linuxmint website does, in response to the person above me saying it doesn't.
You made a good observation to which I put observations. Probably should have been put somewhere else.
