I'm Gopal Venkatesan a.k.a g13n. I presently work at Yahoo! in the Mail team. Although most of the time I write PHP or JavaScript, I love to learn more programming languages, especially the ones that have curlys (like C.) My recent love is Google Go.

Although I have contributed to quite a few open source projects, I consider my contribution to YUI as the best since I enjoy using it. I'm one of the contributors of YUI and the developer/maintainer of the YUI Carousel project.

Apart from computers (on which I spend most of my time), I love traveling and photography.

You can find my technical blog at blog.g13n.me.

I have watched a few documentaries on this topic. I know it sends you spine chills even thinking about it, but many of the attacks are because the men go and gather honey and fish in the Tiger territory because they have almost exhausted them on their side.

I wonder many a times, we simply cannot co-exist to create an ecological balance with anything.

To quote Agent Smith in the movie Matrix:

"It came to me when I tried to classify your species and I realized that you're not actually mammals. Every mammal on this planet instinctively develops a natural equilibrium with the surrounding environment but you humans do not. You move to an area and you multiply and multiply until every natural resource is consumed and the only way you can survive is to spread to another area. There is another organism on this planet that follows the same pattern. Do you know what it is? A virus. Human beings are a disease, a cancer of this planet."

Interesting.

But I see the comparisons is between Apples and Oranges here.

jQuery is a DOM library.

Angular and Ember are client-side MVC libraries.

React is an [isomorphic] UI library.

IMHO Angular/Ember and React and jQuery don't even compare in the same planes.

I'm not supporting React here, but its quite new and off late its getting a lot of traction. So the number of contributors and commits for a library that's quite new is astonishing!

And frankly I feel Angular team made a huge mistake by completely changing the syntax which makes it difficult to be adopted by anyone that knows/uses Angular 1.x.
