For more complex web apps, what does really JavaScript buy us that we do not already get with server side frameworks like Django and Rails?

I‘m conflicted about this. Because there are some people (like
@ncasenmare ) who use JS to create wonderful things that are easy to access.1 reply 0 retweets 3 likes -

If you want real time interaction (game, drawing app, etc…) then you really do need JS. Anything else… I think you probably don‘t/shouldn‘t.

Oh and no JS means no annoying ads, no third party tracking. The only ad I ever saw was the one on
@daringfireball and it was not annoying.2 replies 3 retweets 31 likes -

To me the web is supposed to be the medium where the user is in control and can use it the way they want not be controlled by the developer.

Curious about what are best practices for creating non-JS dependent websites in 2017. Haven‘t paid antt. to that for a long time.

I’m building one at the moment: • If it can be done on the server/CSS do it there. • Add JS only when no other way or to enhance behaviour.
