    css can do animations, and it’s much more performant then js. I hate how over-used JavaScript is on “modern” websites.
    some websites are even straight up unusable or don’t display anything with js disabled…

      Some websites, JavaScript is necessary for doing things without overloading a server. Mostly SPAs/PWAs and such. I’m using Voyager for Lemmy right now, which needs JS, but it gives me a great experience.

      But yeah, JS is often overused. Luckily, with new technologies coming out like Astro and HTMX, we should hopefully start seeing less JavaScript on pages that don’t need it.
