>here is a screenshot of a tweet, with all of the parts that do not work without JavaScript highlighted in red

And this is when I realized this article was written a long time ago. Now if you attempt read a text post on twitter you get nothing at all unless you execute javascript first. The entire screenshot would be red in 2021.

I honestly thought this attitude had died out with everything being Vue and React and all that

I used Huel's site earlier and it even had a splash overlay saying what it was loading, it was one reticulating splines away from being The Sims

Edit: ah it was posted in 2016, I don't think anyone (but do wish) cares about limiting their JS usage anymore

Article is from 2016 - should be in title!

Quoted post unavailable.

Plenty of people still write JavaScript. TypeScript is rapidly gaining popularity, but I'd be surprised if it's reached even parity with plain JS usage yet. People using Angular are probably mostly using TypeScript, but there are still huge communities (React, Vue, Node.js) where TS is optional.
