Long-term I don't think you should need any JavaScript! Unless you're using the web for "apps" I disagree with.
Short-term... I think this is already the case for most webdevs! Even if the industry appears to disagree!

) @alcinnz you might not need javascript. who needs anything, but why not embrqce javascript? 
@serapath Personal reason I care: It JS makes my browser-dev hobby harder & constrains my decisions.
Also: I personally find JS makes webdev harder, not easier. And in my normal browsing is more frequently used to frustrate me than to aid me.
As for the remark "who needs anything?", that's not something I can respond to.
@alcinnz
interesting.
i am quite happy when i encounter JS, that said - vanillaJS, not typescript, not one of the many in need for transpilation dialects and templating framework languages, but raw vanilla JS.
what do you prefer instead?
@serapath For the client-side web: I prefer enjoying how capable HTML/CSS are becoming, & were already!
My remarks top-of-thread were suggesting these capabilities may surprise many webdevs!
Outside that: I'm mainly enjoying Haskell, Lua, Julia, & Vala.
@alcinnz I encountered a website implementing it's own loading animation yesterday, replacing the browsers own with no improvement in functionality. This was a pretty traditional webpage, not an app.
Why?
@LovesTha I blame accidental collusion between educators teaching what gets people hired, & recruiters hiring on what gets taught!
@alcinnz I got this far in life not knowing much JS and I think I can keep going.
