So-- then what are you doing on the Prototype/script.aculo.us mailing
list? :)

This is the Rails spinoffs list. It is the choice of Prototype.js as
the default JavaScript library in Rails that I am contesting.


The sole point of Prototype is to give the programmer a powerful,
opinionated
toolset, to make programming JavaScript less pain

That is a great idea but unfortuntely, prototype.js ends up making it
more pain because of the many concrete reasons I listed before.


(with some extra special sugar-on-the-top for Ruby devs).

But they are JavaScript devs when they are programming JavaScript.
