Amp is literally made in JavaScript you fucking mong
With Google AMP is the future of the www a future without javascript?

I find it funny how amp pages wouldn't even load on my ancient botnet tablet because it didn't support the newer webkit features.

If we didn't have javashitting everything up, all pages would be "accelerated".

Ahh. Is that why car weight has increased so much over the last century too?

TBF, doing some things clientside is a perfectly fine idea, now that the power of computers has grown so much compared to network speeds (not to mention its even greater necessity for p2p). It's just that:
1. It's difficult or impossible to ignore or customize superfluous formatting in pages, whether done with scripting or not, because the entire structure of the web since the first browser without an integrated WYSIWYG editor has betrayed the "separation of presentation and content" ideal on which all SGML-derived document formats were based.
2. Many things that can be done through native browser features, or even within the HTML/CSS specs themselves, are needlessly reimplemented as scripts. Just like how modern browsers themselves ignore native OS features and external libraries to implement everything from GUI chrome to media decompression in JS/HTML/CSS
3. For desirable features reliant on scripting, there is no capability on most pages to opt out and make the server do it, if you're using a thinner client.
4. Even as lightweight interpreted scripting languages go, JS is a fucking abomination literally thrown together in a week, used solely out of inertia, and has only gotten worse in both user implementation and development culture since then.

Are you really sure about that? Ever heard of Spectre or Intel(R) Meltdown(TM)?

The level of vulnerability is identical to an interpreted language running in a buttcode VM, the only difference is the heavier weight and slowness of non-native code.

You must be one of them special types of retards.

Still waiting for HTML, CSS and JavaScript to be ditched altogether and be replaced with something like PostScript.
