We also prefer to see actual /code/ - meaning "programming source code",
rather than "html code" or "indecipherable gibberish".

The group is language agnostic.  JavaScript is a programming language,
and people can post about or ask about JavaScript.  HTML and CSS are not
programming languages, and are not on topic.  There are plenty of other
places for discussing them.

You can always come back to your old C group.  It hasn't changed much,
though Rick is definitely getting more and more disconnected from
reality.  Still, the signal to noise ratio is better than here.
