I'm looking for a javascript library myself, since ASP.NET Ajax is just not going anywhere. This looks good (documentation is a big plus) but if I wanted a comparison (not just file size, but in depth) of the major frameworks, where would I go? Interesting.

I think there were an earlier posts regarding how to choose the right framework. Every framework has it's trade offs, and having a few of them to compare is much better than one leading solution. kind of following similar steps from jQuery, but still, great jobs guys and congrats.

Yet it's code size is small and one could think why it hasn't been there already, while I was prototyping a cover flow like effect (known from Mac) I had exactly the very problem to solve: interpolate between two values in a given time frame. A few days later the beta of 1.8 was released and within 10 minutes I got everything running because the Effect.Tween was there. That's just awesome! The Effect.Tween is really awesome.

All pragprog books I have read have been great, agree that this is no exception -- great book. There is a wealth of documentation with Prototype far above any of the other libraries. It is my top choice for Ajax development because of the documentation, the community support, the support of Sam Stephenson, works nicely with jQuery, etc. (as an aside, writing code in Prototype is also a nice bridge towards programming in Ruby as a lot of the same style is employed in the prototype js lib) Awesome post. …had the book for awhile as it’s been in BETA.

Let's all swallow our pride and make of Prototype the base for our custom tools, because there's a need for normalizing JavaScript across browsers anyway, and it's not easy to have several incompatible frameworks doing almost the same things everywhere. For my part, I've started using it since a week ago and don't plan to leave it anytime soon. :-) Rock on!
