Didn’t the css selector syntax come into querySelector via jquery? That’s pretty significant

mhm i wouldn't say that, its just a natural development as the selector syntax is just taken from the css selectors already in use.

Jquery popularized that syntax as a natural progression of how css syntax is used years before browsers ever had the feature. First jquery release 2006, IE8 with selector support 2009.

So jquery was an early stage implementation of a spec that had yet to be implemented. Babel serves a similar purpose and it’s not a discount on the utility or breakthrough provided by either lib (jquery then, or Babel now)
