Description

In HTML5, the default script type is JavaScript. Specifying the default type is not recommend.

From ​https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/script#attr-type

Omitted or a JavaScript MIME type: This indicates the script is JavaScript. The HTML5 specification urges authors to omit the attribute rather than provide a redundant MIME type.

From ​https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/scripting.html#the-script-element

Authors should omit the type attribute instead of redundantly setting it.
