I wouldn't call jQuery a language.
jQuery is JavaScript.
- axod 18y agolibrary/frameworky thing. It's not javascript though. Try getting help with a jQuery question in #javascript...
- jcl 18y agojQuery is JavaScript in approximately the same way CLOS is Common Lisp. Sure, jQuery is implemented in and uses JavaScript, but idiomatic jQuery differs enough from idiomatic JavaScript that it might be considered another language. ...And, if that handwaving fails to convince you, jQuery's selector string format is at least as much a language as the pager formatting string that merits its own language in the article. :)
