Just a reminder to keep it civil here folks. Personally I try to provide
both a JS and non-JS version of any given feature--while people may no
longer have K6 CPUs not everyone has an Android/iPhone either. Providing
a non-JS version allows people with midgrade phones to still use all the
features of the website.

Again, I am not suggesting implementing a giant javascript hell. I am suggesting a small and simple piece of JavaScript to enable community interaction via a comment system.

Regarding stability, in theory javascript should be OK. In practice the
JS engine built into a given browser can leak memory quite badly--for me
this manifests as having to regularly restart Firefox, which gets to be
quite a nuiscance over time. TDE might end up (randomly) being the site
that pushes the user's system over a memory limit, and nothing says
"professional" like a site appearing to crash the users' browser.

Firefox has long lost any control over it's ability to manage memory. As of the latest builds, it can no longer be compiled on a 32bit system because the linker uses 3gb+ of memory.
