jQuery seems more like an API to talk to the DOM than an extension or wrapper around Javascript itself. JS simply doesn't reach the same depths of madness and ineptitude as PHP does at the most fundamental levels of the language. Even if it's still fairly insane compared to languages that are actually kinda elegant.
