I agree with Bob. I'm still not a fan of prototype, though. Dojo is good for some things. It doesn't seem to be targeted at small projects. It's more targeted along the lines of a large javascript-based application. For example, an OS: https://www.youos.com/ uses Dojo extensively. Dojo is so large, in fact, MochiKit can be used /within/ Dojo, just to give you some perspective. I say java-thonic, or dot.net-thonic because it /is/ quite large and daunting to get started with. It's probably *not* best for small to small-medium sized projects.
MochiKit, on the other hand is, as I said, mucho pythonic. I, personally, LOVE it. MochiKit does what it claims to do, and that's make javascript "suck less." It includes iterators, functional programming concepts (partial, etc...), deferred from Twisted, Color from Cocoa, DOM manipulation that /doesn't/ suck, excellent development tools, insanely good documentation [...]. There are others that some people seem to like, such as JQuery. I don't know anything about it other than it seems to be a big buzzword whore. Also, Scriptaculious (sp?) and Rico, which seems to take after Dojo to an extent (widgets and such), both based on Prototype. Dojo and Rico try to give you a simpleish to use Widget and allow you to customize it, /to an extent/. MochiKit tries to say, "here, javascript doesn't suck now so it really isn't _that_ hard." -Sam On 8/15/06, Bob Ippolito <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > To be fair, the right answer is that it really depends on what you > want to do.
