javascript

javascript is absurdly bad.

you visit some small site and bam! you've already downloaded 2MB of "libraries" like jQuery that waste your CPU cycles for some syntax sugar bullshit created because javascript is shit to begin with.

web apps like google docs are slow and have poor user interfaces.

javascript has been wasting millions of CPUs cycles every hour of every day with its inefficient bullshit.

and now it's considered a mandatory "technology" for programmers.

please tell me I won't have to use javascript if I want to get into the computing business. I'm too young and enthusiastic to dare envision such madness.

I very clearly asked for the javashit to be removed in the lounge metathread. The request was rejected even though this would be a trivial change to the source code. Even if the site is useable with noscript, the site still shouldnt use it because it encourages javashit. People who want these scripts should have to install it themselves.
