Is it harder or just a bit longer-winded? E.g. i'm thinking this is the same behaviour document.getElementsByClassName('sth')[0]?.closest('ul');

  Thanks, this is now standard it seems. TIL

  That's not exactly the same, I don't think, because jQuery will give you all the `ul` that are closest to `.sth`, not just the first. You'd have to write a loop over the list returned from `document.getElementsByClassName('sth')` to get the same behaviour (because it doesn't look like the standardised `closest` works on lists.)

    If i'm following right, i think this expression would match? Array.from(document.getElementsByClassName("sth")).map(e => e.closest("ul")) The jQuery is definitely nicer to read than this though

      Yeah, that seems to do the same.
