    I went to a Microsoft site to fill out a form to register for a 2 two conference. My CPU shot up to 100 percent. The task manager (in the browser) told me that this was using a huge amount of computer for a ton of javascript running on a page that didn’t need any at all.

    It is very abused for analytics, little is used to make a page “nice” anymore.

      Just because people use JavaScript for bad things doesn’t mean it’s not also necessary for the other things though

        Thank you for this invaluable insight, it was truly foolish of me to think that javascript is just silly and the entire webdev industry that’s based on it is just dummy dumb
