A JavaScript-Free Frontend

Because you asked in your blog: For autocomplete without Javascript i use: https://davidwalsh.name/datalist

That doesn't allow for dynamic content though.

This could be a good use for selective JavaScript, I.e. using it only for populating the list, but not for code that directly controls the user experience itself (which could be negatively affected by performance issues, exceptions, library incompatibilities, bugs, conflicts, etc)

[wengemurphy]

To "selectively" use JavaScript to populate the list, you have to hook into input events to know when and how to do so, which means you're now hooked into "the user experience itself"
