Nah. Its accessibility at this point and its time we start talking about it, yes, even here. The internet is being ruined by js and screenshotted or otherwise uncopyable, inaccessible text.

Not necessarily. Without JS some sites would be horrible to use. I don't even know if it is possible to submit a form without reloading the page. It probably is by now but a lot of basic functionality either needs JS, very complex server-side rendering or url resource structure.

And server side rendering can be as ugly, it is just less visible. We can be really lucky that there is a universal language on the client side for web browsers. Even if it is often abused, it is very much worth it.

Maybe not the most elegant language, but probably one of the fasted to develop with.

What about things like games in the browser? A few of those are part of my daily ritual.
