I think if you use JS your website has broken history by default and you need to go an extra mile (or use a nice framework) to remedy this. And there are things like infinite scrolling pages. And then you find yourself arguing with the developer why it should be fixed ("Yeah ? But nobody uses history anyway.")
If you use C your program has broken history by default and you need to go an extra mile (or use a nice framework) to remedy this. I guess the difference is that in C world, we've more or less standardised on a few nice frameworks (Qt, GTK, etc).
