Javascript is truly a cancer.

And I'm not saying that because of those cute ``animations'' & ``interactivity'' people do with it, but aids like this: http://wiki.c2.com/?ClosuresConsideredHarmful

What the hell compels people to make JS used to display their site???
It just seems like a very bad design choice and would affect their site's usability, yet I see this a lot.

Web Archives, caches,proxies etc strip out or disable javascript

Wouldn't they do the same for whichever other embedded client-side executable?
