"The fact is that JavaScript is one of the top reasons for security breaches on the client computer and client mobile phones" - source?
"Another point worth mentioning is that more and more people disable JavaScript uncompromisingly, using extensions such as NoScript, due to very valid security concerns." - source?
"If a website isn't working without JavaScript it is loosing potential visitors and customers on a regular basis." - none of my clients would want such visitors or "customers" anyway.
Now, I don't think JS should be used for everything, nor do I think the JS ecosystem is made of well designed code, but I think we should definitely stop pushing for bad HN content such as this one.
I genuinely wish there was a debate around alternatives to JS in the browser, but around better written articles.
