- How many users have JavaScript disabled? · YDN Blog developer.yahoo.com
While 2% of U.S. visitors may not seem like a lot, keep in mind that over 300 million users visit the Yahoo! homepage each month. That means 6 million users visit each month without the benefit of JavaScript. So even though it’s worth spending your time on the JavaScript-enabled version of the site, there are still a non-trivial amount of users out there who won’t be able to use it. While the percentage of visitors with JavaScript disabled seems like a low number, keep in mind that small percentages of big numbers are also big numbers.

Despite spending hours and hours searching the Web and testing plugins and code examples I couldn’t find a single example of a submenu that works the way I want it to (which happens to be the way submenus work in most other CMSs I have worked with). So I ended up coding one myself.

Node is an awesome platform to very easily write very well performing servers. Node is an awesome platform to use for your daily shell scripting needs (allowing you to work in your favorite language even for these tasks). Node isn't about creating awesome websites. It's about giving you the power to easily build servers. Web, DNS, SMTP - we've seen all.
"Instead of coding in one language, we're actually coding in two. One is the subset JavaScript that can be run in all browsers, and another is the set of JavaScript that can be run by Node. Knowing the difference between the two languages and context switching between them is simply a required skill. You know what would be awesome? If we wrote our libraries so that they could run either on the server or on the client, and they did so in a transparent way. Maybe it would help to give a concrete example of how this could be awesome." Isn't YUI trying to do this? Lots to catch up on
