So you use JavaScript libraries to avoid writing JavaScript to use a JavaScript browser API?

That's right. By including the Intercooler.js library, we don't need to write custom JS when developing features in our web app. We can take full advantage of JS APIs like AJAX and EventSource by only adding declarative HTML attributes to our markup.
That's exactly right.

It's also pretty hilarious.

I said a while ago: "The irony is that I had to learn a lot of javascript in order to never have to write any javascript again."
