> If you want anything more than a static site, you‘ll need JavaScript.

Who doesn't want static sites? I certainly do. They're faster and easier to use. I've never heard a user say "I wish my back button didn't work and the page rendered wonky so that buttons move as I try to click them".

It's web developers that push to turn simple HTML documents into "applications".



Every now and then I wish browser writers would compare timestamps between the link click and the last relayout, and throw away stale clicks instead of navigating to who knows where.
