We should be working on an alternative paradigm. https://github.com/runvnc/tersenet

"JavaScript Free" pretty tired of the JavaScript hate. It's not going away, and if you make a browser that doesn't support it, no one will use the browser.

I've been a JavaScript programmer (primarily) for about 10 years. I don't hate JavaScript. Just last night I was answering a question on reddit that involved refactoring some Node.js code. I spent two hours on it just for fun. https://www.reddit.com/r/node/comments/ua1ikb/comment/i5yarr...

However. There are a lot of people though who are tired of their browser freezing up when they are just trying to read an article. Or tired of ads on pages that are supposed to simply be information. And they associate a lot of that with JavaScript since it drives it.

That is one of the primary groups who might be interested in alternative types of browsers.

Maybe consider reading over the idea.
