Criticisms of jQuery code
In a comp.lang.javascript discussion, someone posted the criticisms of
jQuery below. Can the dev team comment on any of these points? I have
not looked into the jQuery code in great detail myself, but the things
pointed out here worry me.
Add to that the unnecessary browser sniffing I've seen in other places
in the code and things like the slow and unnecessary event object
duplication, and I'm starting to wonder just how solid the code is in
the library. I'm going to do an analysis of it myself as well. I guess
I expected to see a little more robust code in the core, and I'm
surprised by some of the items pointed out below.
Anyone care to comment?
