I was a huge MooTools fan back in the day. I literally have a t-shirt in my closet[1] and an inordinate amount of MooTools left on my personal site. Even so, I think trying not to break it is beyond silly. It made the decision to extend prototypes. In hindsight, a huge mistake. At the time, almost nothing in JavaScript had changed in over a decade, it seemed safe, an unmoving target. Douglas Crockford really doesn't get enough credit for the work he did getting ECMAScript into a living standard again. How soon people forget, but in the mid-aughts any mention of JavaScript was followed by a scoff. Anyway, JavaScript shouldn't be trying specifically not to break MooTools. MooTools was trying to fix JavaScript. [1]: https://twitter.com/donatj/status/1468728094588506115 https://twitter.com/donatj/status/1468728094588506115
