Yes, web developers don’t use straight HTML because for anything that is not trivial, it’s not sufficient The web today is a place to DO things, not READ things. Even if you are displaying “static” data, Javascript frameworks and libraries can help you write code once and then offload browser compatibility and desktop/mobile presentation formats.
If you add all the interactive elements, it gets even more complex. HTML is powerful and provides transparency, but it’s not just the MBA crowd moving away from it.
Also, as desktop applications are quickly being deprecated for browser-based apps, there is more movement to frameworks, and libraries.
Did you mean to respond to someone else? I didn’t say devs shouldn’t use javascript, I just said that the linuxmint website does, in response to the person above me saying it doesn’t.
Really? If so, then that YouTuber fucking lied about it. I personally never checked. I trusted the bastard 😂. Iirc, it was the “this week in Linux” channel.

I feel like I wrote this article. Lol
Btw, here is a fully functional and gorgeous website that has zero JavaScript https://linuxmint.com/
It loads these JavaScript libraries:
Sorry, I can’t seem to get the formatting right.
I think you gotta use ` three times for a code block?
Thanks, it worked!
No prob! Its ingrained after years of re-googling the same formatting lol
umm, that page loads several javascript files. jquery, popper, bootstrap, etc.

You made a good observation to which I put observations. Probably should have been put somewhere else.
