Yeah the idea that you wouldn't want animations in a GAME is hilarious. It must either be a joke or this person is really that far up the "the web shouldn't have js" culty asscrack.
It's cool and interesting to make a game that doesn't require those. But it puts extreme limitations on the game. There is no reason to aspire to making only games that include no js and animations. If there's ever a usecase for JS and animations its a game. Games are usually dynamic. Games usually involve moving visuals. Saying those things are unecessary means you're the guy at the game party who refuses to play Catan because tic tac toe is enough.
