First of all, he was commenting about this page not displaying ANY content at all. At the very least there should be a noscript tag to tell the user to enable JS.

Second, I whitelist sites for javascript. There's nothing absurd about that. Honestly, I can't believe people run any and all JS on every random page they land on.

For most sites that sounds like a good idea, but this is a Javascript project. The number of people interested in a Javscript framework that don't have Javascript enabled and are still befuddled when things don't work correctly must be vanishingly small.

Isn't that actually the opposite argument? If you are an expert in that field, you should understand how to degrade gracefully. Besides, you might not know that the project is about javascript until you read the (blank) page.
