> Javascript is superflous for 99.9% of websites.

For web sites, yes. For web applications though (of which there are more every day), it's definitely not.

"Superfluous" is not the same as "not necessary in practice" in this case. There are many websites that use JavaScript for polyfills, browser detection, screen detection, and scroll detection. In some cases there are alternatives, but that doesn't mean those alternatives are ubiquitous.
