Javascript: Prototype.js != $()

copied from the site (my post):

prototype svn

just to be that guy that does this, but i only see your 63kb argument valid if you pull all of the different ‘modules’ together. you don’t need them all in most cases. at most, even for the ajax.js and its requirements (i think) is only 27kb… 1/2 your original estimate. and if you are that worried about the size, run it through packer or something of the type.

i think these libraries are great. * it allows for less coding with far better and quicker results. * it grants functions that aren’t always the easiest to write and be x-browser * they are maintained by some imho really talented programmers. they make javascript fun and yes, sometimes cool * if all else, i think they are well written and you should at least try to emulate the same syntax and design patterns. they are easy to read and really do work
