i DONT get this attitude of Google. even MS uses jquery but the open source king Google do not. is this so hard to improve upon Firefox or Ubuntu or even much less complex jquery?
- jonknee 17y agoGoogle uses (and hosts free for everyone) jQuery. You can even use their new compiler to get a smaller version of jQuery. The widget library has some overlap with jQuery, but does so much more and has been in progress since well before jQuery UI (Google bought Writely in March 2006 and jQuery UI didn't come out until September 2007).
- leej 17y agoMS uses and hosts free too. what is your point? i'm talking about progressing current successful open source projects. fyi, its library has overlap with jquery core too!
- nostrademons 17y agoClosure existed well before JQuery did. It's non-trivial to switch an existing system over to a new JS library. I tried most recently last month, but there're a bunch of engineering constraints that made it apparent, even to me, that it was a bad idea. JQuery is still used a lot for prototyping, where we don't face these engineering constraints.
