Thanks, and I understood the word was used for dramatic effect only.
From my POV I too find it frustrating at times, but I'd say much of that comes quite unnecessarily not from JS use, but its abuse, eg. fails to display text unless JS is enabled. HTML is pretty good at that!
There's no point me boring you with all the plusses of not using js (just ask) but speed... once a connection is made this http://antirez.com/latest/0 is pretty much instantaneous.
(thanks for your reply)
