It's really interesting to get the opinion of a jQuery core contributor on this whole thing. I can't imagine very many people are in a better position to comment on the state of current WebKit bugs than the folks writing the most popular DOM/AJAX library on the web.
- MatthewPhillips 14y agoHe had me until he put bloated (as a description of jQuery) in quotes.
- scott_karana 14y agoAdmittedly, he was refering to the 2.0 line, the goal of which was to drastically lower the size of the codebase by cutting out support for non-current browsers.
- MatthewPhillips 14y agoFeature bloat is still bloat. jQuery is a DOM library, an XHR library, an animations library, a functional library, a promises library... as far as I know 2.0 doesn't do anything about that issue.
- dmethvin 14y agoIn either 1.9 or 2.0 you have the option to exclude XHR or animations as well as several other functional modules. More feature-lopping capability will be coming soon.
