JavaScript is my favourite programming language of all. Yes, you read that right. It is a programming language and I think one is a fool if they believe otherwise. While it is the de facto client side scripting language of the web, JavaScript has also seen a lot of growth on the server side especially with the emergence of technologies like Node.js and applications built on it.

With such extensive use, you might think no person on the face of this earth would have it disabled in their browsers. Even if they did, having a severely limited Facebook should push them to live with whatever grievances they might have had. It appears, however, that a little over 1% of users disable their JavaScript. Some do it to prevent ads, some to avoid interference with their screen-readers and, of course, there are those who do web development with progressive enhancement in mind.
