gollark: HERESY!
gollark: Yes, browsers make plain HTML with no styling look quite bad.
gollark: There's no reason many other sites, blogs and news and such (primarily textual content) can't do similar things... and yet we get websites with 10MB of JavaScript to render 10kB of useful content?
gollark: I've designed my site in what I think is a reasonably sane way, in that it's mostly static and simple, inlines the CSS for fast loading, doesn't use exotic browser features, works okay on mobiles, and uses service workers if available for faster loading.
gollark: I disagree with what solar's link says. JS overuse is *still* bad regardless of whether you can improve random metrics.
