I generally agree with you but...

> The dynamic nature of javascript is what caused the explosion of websites around 2007, due to the advent of jQuery.

I'm not convinced that was a good thing. Pretty much all of that content is terrible. Quality > Quantity




That doesn't really mean anything though in the context of things.


Sure it does. The grandparent is saying that we should have a higher quality web, and you are saying that we should have a more dynamic web.


I'm not saying we should have a more dynamic one. But JS fundamentally changed how we interact with websites, and it's here to stay. The majority of big players in the last decaded wouldn't have existed without the dynamic interaction. Saying we should go back to static only, is nonsense.


I completely disagree. The majority of big players has poisoned the waterhole. They've made the web less usable because of how they've made things dynamic. I think going back to static would have some negative impact, but it would make things better for everyone overall.
