- krapp 7y agoPeople complained about incompatible versions of the DOM between IE and everyone else, and about how awkward AJAX and DOM manipulation was, and those are the problems JQuery solved. That's providing a common API and mostly forcing Microsoft to follow spec, not a "C style stdlib," though. I don't think many people were upset that javascript didn't natively support, say, proper integers or static types or (ugh) "classes" or what have you, at least not until people started wanting to use javascript outside of its intended purpose.
