I hate JavaScript, the bane of the internet. Bandwidth hog and security nightmare.
JavaScript is a client-side language, it generates no bandwith in itself. Some years ago I did local web pages with Javascript, and it is actually quite useful to do Flash-less games and animations for example.
Bad enough already that I have to white list that crap to access etherpad and the wiki. (Hint, hint.)
The thing I hate with Etherpad is that it requires cookies even to view public pads without being logged in.
Please create static web pages.
Javascript and static web pages are compatible (using DOM and/or document.write is not mandatory).
