When I read "battle tested" as a justification for a large abstraction library it sounds like you aren't testing your code thoroughly cross-browser.
It's less a justification for a large abstraction library and more a statement to its persistence since, what, 1997?
And what's wrong with loops anyway? What kind of programming are they teaching y'all that simple primitives are so out of fashion?

- tomc1985 8y agoAs does nearly any large library. The more abstraction you add the more complex things get. And "millions" is a bit of an overstatement, no?
- austincheney 8y agoNo, it isn’t. jQuery often breaks in IE, because instead of using a timer to determine long running code IE uses 5 million instruction count. Simple jQuery implementations would blow past 5 million instructions on load in a fraction of a second. I encountered this failure often when I used to work at Travelocity.
