I appreciate progressive enhancement and keeping JS minimal, however I think that selective and clever usage of JS is infinitely better than none whatsoever. That said I agree with the sentiment that modern web development 100% has entirely too much JavaScript.

Great idea! In my OS distribution - OnemanBSD (https://bialamusic.com/onemanBSD/) I found out that to include browser with Javascript, it would eat more time to build it than to to rebuild the entire OS with the included apps. No single person can understand what is inside that monster. It could be any code injection

Amazing, made me chuckle. Still will be using js tho
