Javascript is a fucking security nightmare. Anytime someone uses it, if they don't run through a fucking laundry list the size of my arm of possible exploits then it's a gaping security hole

That's not on java script - it's on advertising.

>Make people forget security is fucking important

It's not important. Most people literally don't care.

JavaScript exists to manipulate the DOM and to send and receive information from and to the server.

It plays a big part in Web 2.0 because it helps to further blur the line between web site and application by allowing developers to update the DOM without refreshing the page.

Why do we need more than static html?

>>59221531
Dynamic websites. Dynamically updating a chart or graph without refreshing the page, performing validation while typing or before allowing submission of a form, and so on...

Get with the times or get autistic.

20 mb packages for a program that dimms the desktop.

I COULD WRITE THAT SHIT IN PYTHON OR C AND IT WOULD ONLY BE A FEW KILOBYTES

>>59221560
Just write a script that refreshes the page you autist

>>59221582
Are you so autistic or poor that such little storage matters more than your time?

Only unemployed NEET autistics get mad about js. The js hate is a meme.

>YEAH GUYS LET'S ALL MAKE FUCKING 20MB DIMMERS AND MAKE 2GB DESKTOP BS IT'S NOT LIKE THERE IS SOMETHING CALLED RAM THAT WILL NEED TO LOAD ALL THAT SHIT. AND IT'S NOT LIKE EFFICIENCY MATTERS!

Is this honestly the way you think?

Can't blame that on JS alone though. It's not like the rest of the browser ecosystem isn't complete garbage.

Stalin helped get rid of Jew hating Nazis, goy. Therefore, Stalin = good

>> Discordapp (see above)
what is the safest way to use discord if one absolutely must use it to chat, btw

a dedicated web browser used only for running the app?

There's a thing called autopostback, but since html is not a programming language and you have to use hacks to retain data after refreshing, no, it's not a good idea.
Granted I really dislike js, it can be a necessary evil for some specific instances.
The huge amount of framework on the other hand are a huge cancer and often result in conflicts hell

>>59224737
well, I can't exactly pick a chat application by how good the application is, sadly
I must use 5he same application as the people I need/want to talk to

>>59224842
If they force you to use a botnet to talk to you, they're not your friends.
