> some users dont want javascript

correct, nearly all dont

[dmd → exabrial]

More than 99.9% of web users have never heard of javascript.

[LoganDark → dmd]

But then how could they want it? It wouldn't be like they want to get rid of it instead, they just wouldn't feel anything towards something they've never heard of.

[__MatrixMan__ → dmd]

I'd believe 90. 99.9 seems aggressive.

[ChrisRR → __MatrixMan__]

I think you massively overestimate how much the average user knows about computers

[TheCoelacanth → ChrisRR]

The statement was 99.9%, so that's not talking about average users; it's talking about the top 1% or less of users.

If 99.9% percent of users don't know what JS is, that means even a majority of professional software developers don't know what it is.

[pessimizer → dmd]

A lot of people haven't heard of pancreatic cancer either. Explain it to them and see if they approve.

edit: IE javascript was probably responsible for at least half a dozen times their system has been ruined, and they know what tracking is.
