Yes, it is the base for a lot more. Unfortunately I have tried and used countless other libraries for the last 3 years, and they always wind up breaking - in fact even underscore failed to pass some of my tests, and I had to patch a bug with it.
The only library I have been able to consistently trust is jquery. At a certain point as a developer you have to decide what is best for you and your code, and in my case it is relying on this library, because I know I can trust it.
- curveship 13y agoThat sounds a lot like the definition of NIH attitude. You might like lodash.js if cross-browser consistency is your true goal.
- marknadal 13y agoI would love to use other libraries, unfortunately I wasted too much time (years) trying to fix them up for what I needed and they still become unmanageable. I am glad your projects are simpler and don't push the limits of existing libraries, but don't dismiss my goals or act like you know what they are just because yours are not as intense. Generally I have found that the libraries that are loud and popular wind up performing inferior to more obscure libraries which I use. Not that the loud ones are bad, they just can't handle my specific projects.
