The javascript image shows limited to no usage on the $ key, Doesn't say a lot for jQuery usage.

  In the codebase here we use 'jQuery' instead of '$'.

    Ditto. If you pull in multiple plugins or additional frameworks (for some reason, we mix YUI with jquery), the $() notation can become broken, and you have to explicitly call jQuery().
    • udp 15y ago
      Unless you put all your code in a big closure to make a correct $ in function scope: (function ($) { }) (jQuery);

  The article mentions that "the heat map does miss out on things like shift and caps. ex. in perl with the dollar sign. ($)".
  • jrockway 15y ago
    Yeah, but the $ is shown as frequently-pressed in the Perl heatmap, so that must not be what he means.
