It looks nice, but do we really need to be pulling in a giant
JS-bomb
like JQuery on D's homepage?
If you have JS enabled, you will hit JQuery on a large portion
of
modern web-pages. It looks like it degrades gracefully when JS
is
disabled, so I don't really see the problem.
To be honest I really kept Nick in my head while working on
no-javascript fallback. No joke, really. I remember his
statements about JS and I really took it to heart :)
It should give ol' good dlang.org site when running without JS.
When everything will settle down and hit stable state, we will
also compress all js files (jQuery is already shipped compressed)
so loading times shouldn't be an issue. I believe there are not
much 56kbps modem users this days anyways! *grins*
If you want to suggest specific solutions (why are you doing X
with JQuery? Isn't doing Y sufficient?) that would be useful,
otherwise everyone is just going to filter you out as "old man
nick is complaining about JS again" :)
Nick is right, JS is way overused these days and it's wrong, but
sometimes it is a must. And yes please, any suggestions are
welcome!
