Really not that funny and worse it gratifies no intellectual curiosity. (Not to mention that it is a repost from an earlier link to their homepage)

Infinite flexibility, and none of the power of JS is sacrificed. This framework is awesome.

Vapor as in Vaporware? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vaporware

Why do this? Is it an inside joke?

No, it's a completely serious 0-byte framework.

This is the lamest thing I've seen in a while. Har-de-har-har, good sir!

Guys, you should follow #jsconf on twitter to get some background on this awesome lib. :-)

It's a well done parody. But there's a message here that I'd like to refute. I would guess the gist of this project is: built in browser dom api is fine, we don't need any abstractions.

So... what changed in the last 6 years? I would say: nothing. The dom is still a clusterfuck of an api. Poorly documented, and with core things still not cross browser compatibile (like setting attributes).

Luckily jQuery has taken over. Not that it's perfect or anything (I have major issues with lots of it), but it provides a base level of functionality that any sane web developer needs.

Hell, at this point, browsers should just bundle it (only loaded locally if the specific version is requested, falling back to http).

No, no, and no.

There's a lot of problems with jQuery, the least of which is developer ignorance to the actual language.

MJR2• 16 years ago

So what are the other problems - the worst ones?

I use this library in my latest project, it's at least twice as fast compared to jquery and it will soon have ponies support by default!
