I have a hard time seeing why, these days, an extra 1.2k for something that makes a task simpler and more consistent is ever "overkill".

- joesb 14y agojQuery is not 1.2k. And this library doesn't have a strong reason to tie itself to jQuery. It doesn't need jQuery's DOM operation or AJAX. It's like making a program depending on third party library without actually using any of the feature.
- hnriot 14y agoOr rather it's using the jquery namespace for a utility function much like many of those provided by jquery, like isnuneric for example.
- joesb 14y agoIt uses just one function from jQuery, `isNumeric`, which is a function that is a one liner. And if you follow the project again, you will see that it has become a regular non-jQuery library.
