> I'm just tired of being downvoted every single time I mention that JavaScript is necessary on the modern web
Downvotes should give you a hint that the few users that know what javascript is, don't like it, and the rest of them, if they learned, most likely won't like it either. Your attitude shows that you don't care.
My attitude shows that JavaScript is necessary for the modern web experience! No one has successfully argued against this yet-- nor have they even really tried! You're all just mad about my tone without even discussing the content as if this was a kindergarten class. This is absurd.
Let me get this right, you're saying that people on HackerNews don't know about JavaScript-- one of the most popular programming languages in the world?

Exactly! I agree with you 100%! I, and many others, don't like the modern web experience and JS is the foundation that makes it all possible.
Yeah, and I don't like paying taxes or many other aspects of modern society, but I don't reflexively downvote anyone who mentions that you need to pay taxes to participate in modern society.
