Currently, I am fairly content with jQuery. I honestly don't do a huge amount of low level js work, but could you explain what makes this superior or different from jQuery?

It looks good, I'm just not sure that the thing that we need for a "better web" is yet another js framework.



A lot of the jQuery "way" is inconsistent from my experience. And some of it is just backwards (like .each gives index, value instead of value, index). I just want to get the best of both jQuery (speed, chaining, non-intrusive) and Prototype (Hashes, Array, Function binding, etc.) in one consistent framework.


Why not mootools?


Because that's just an extended version of Prototype, not really a completely different direction. Everything in mootools is compartmentalized into "Element" or "Hash" or "Array" and latches onto the existing object types.

I want to make something that avoids that and is very simple to use.
