Why is there no javascript on this website ? false false 2022-01-01 false false

Javascript is a programming language made for dynamic websites. My website is not dynamic : you read what I write, but they is no interaction. No comments, no ads, no tracking.

I don't use Javascript for x reasons :

  • It slows down your browsing
  • It means my servers takes more bandwith and energy
  • I don't need it
  • I don't want you to run code without knowing what it does,
  • ... and I don't want you to not have the choice about it.

It's also a power-saving mesure : it means that they is less bandwidth used, thus less electricity. And that's also a small, but important way to preserve the planet.

Javascript in general is not that great of a idea. You can read more about it here : "I Turned Off JavaScript for a Whole Week and It Was Glorious"
