Javascript's
rougher edges? Do you want lots of pre-built widgets? Do you want
commercial
support/backing? In reality most of the big ones (Prototype, Dojo,
YUI, jQuery,
Mootools) are all pretty good and will probably do what you're
looking for. From
my experience though, Prototype, jQuery and Mootools feel more
Perlish (see, I
brought it back to Perl!) and Dojo and YUI feel more Javaish.
I do like http://ajaxian.com/. It mentions various tools, projects and
frameworks all the time.
To add to that list:
MochiKit is also out there, and while not perlish its very very
Pythonic. Its my js toolkit of choice, in part because I used to
work with the maintainer, and in part because its just really
intuitive. It has less of a 'fancy fading boxes for users' feel to
it, and more of a 'lets make more efficient programming'. a lot of
the famous big tech/web companies use it for internal projects.
