A number of the core jquery innovations have been implemented in the browser. document.querySelector is the clearest example I think. The big push in browser standards is the Extensible Web Manifesto[1]. The idea being that we should first give web developers powerful and general purpose primitives to explore and build solutions with, because there are many more web devs than there are browser implementors, and the standardization process is slow. We can then explore standardizing the most successful and useful results. This project is using service worker, one of the canonical extensible web APIs as it gives sites tremendous control over their network use.
