| This article is ridiculous and pointless JavaScript hate article. JavaScript is not different from HTML and CSS, all of these are generated by a sometimes proprietary service and executed in the browser. This article is completely stupid because it not only misses the point of JavaScript, it even contradicts itself: - if the UI is plain HTML/CSS and is generated server side and then fed to your browser, you will never even have a clue how it works - if the UI is done with JavaScript on the client you can always de-obfuscate it > Further, we've recently seen companies such as Research In Motion (makers of the Blackberry) advising customers to entirely disable JavaScript in the WebKit browser on its devices because of a security problem that was discovered. It seems the FSF wants to build a reputation by taking things out of context and leaving out important bits. The security was probably found in the browser and not in JavaScript, this is the same as advising someone to unplug the computer because of a computer virus. I am really disappointed by this short sighted article, the FSF should be better than this. |
