Indeed ... but thats not the point of the discussion about Java Script.
It's obviously your newest toy you really want to have in the project -
I cant imagine why. A UI framework certainly does not need Javascript
per se - and its certainly not needed for freenet.
2) What about people who don't have Javascript enabled or use terminal
browsers like lynx?
Right now we have maybe 20k concurrent users. Google and other
websites use GWT for apps with millions, perhaps tens of millions of
users. If Google is prepared to make Javascript a requirement for
mainstream web apps that serve millions of users, then we should
certainly be comfortable with doing-so for our app that serves thousands.
Yeah and I am sure all those google users are very concerned about their
privacy since they all use google, gmail, android, chrome with full
phone home functionality ... and so forth giving them all the data they
want.
I mean its clear that a software like Freenet should be compared with
the biggest datamining company in the world. I mean thats what freenet
is all about right?
An argument ad populum is not very convincing - especially not one like
that.
Of your other arguments the only real benefit which no other Framwork
would offer easily are the Dev-Tools. All the other arguments are not
"pro GWT" but pro "use a framework". So its simple - don't stick your
head into the sand: search for a better framework which has at least a
non-JS fallback.
BTW a redesign is certainly not the most important step...
