An interesting read. Nice to see that Pegged’s toHTML() method is 
appreciated and put to good use, adding to Pegged’s value.

I was surprised to see how well received was this reddit post. 
Initially i've written it to test a new website 
(lambdahackers.com). Also it's not very technical. And finally 
not very well written (even if i got 2 reviews to help fixing the 
mistakes). I guess that's a combination of how reddit works and a 
boost from D users.

Can anyone explain me the purpose of javascript on this page?
Especialy various mouse click event handlers, those break common 
well-known handfull browser behaviour?
I can't select text and press mouse r-click to invoke firefox 
gtranslate plugin for selected text for example.

Yes.
But i just wonder: site creators make secret war with us (users). 
They make we harder and harder, we struggle by noscript and other 
technics :)
Did you see sites, where links made with js, so i cant open it in 
other browser tab (i just see javascript:void() in url bar)?
Sites full with bells and whistles, but with broken surfing...
Very strange... Looks like sites creators are not web surfers...

As someone once said: "Never ascribe to malice that which is adequately
explained by incompetence."

Most of the time, web devs are just reusing stuff (libraries,
frameworks, languages, etc.) somebody else has made, and don't really
give much thought to it except that it works for them.  Not everyone
bothers to make things work degrade gracefully the way HTML/JS/etc. are
supposed to.  Even though personally I reserve JS only for truly
necessary occasions where the functionality cannot be replicated by
anything else, the vast majority of web devs today see JS as something
that can simply be assumed to be there, and so have no qualms about
making links that only exist in JS.  They're not deliberately out to
break things for non-JS users or old browsers -- there is no "secret
war" -- they just aren't targeting that audience. Most users don't even
know the difference anyway.

People like us who prefer to use HTML links for what they're supposed to
be used for, are in the minority.  On my part, I don't even use JS on my
own website, and no heavy graphics except where it's actually part of
the content.  The site loads in subseconds, and with minimal memory
requirements.  No need for heavy-weight RAM-consuming CPU-hogging script
libraries that aren't actually needed to put out the content.  But this
approach to web design is pretty much unheard of these days, even though
IMO it makes the most sense.
