I've had similar thoughts. jQuery is "king of the DOM" nowadays, no need/use to compete with overlapping low-level features there. I think the Python heritage should continue to be embraced though. When looking at underscore lib I kindof like it but that's mostly because lots of it already exists in MK ;) Looks like MK.Base + Iter interface (but without actual iterator code).
I added couple of draft libraries to my MochiKit fork last year. https://github.com/blq/mochikit - http://blq.github.com/mochikit/doc/html/MochiKit/index.html To keep things moving perhaps parts of these could be added? Improved binding etc http://blq.github.com/mochikit/doc/html/MochiKit/Base-ext.html Resembles "rest of" the Python itertools module: http://blq.github.com/mochikit/doc/html/MochiKit/Iter-ext.html Resembles the Python Bisect module http://blq.github.com/mochikit/doc/html/MochiKit/Bisect.html Resembles the Python HeapQ module http://blq.github.com/mochikit/doc/html/MochiKit/HeapQ.html http://blq.github.com/mochikit/doc/html/MochiKit/Random.html ... (see the changelog) Code annotation and build scripts to integrate with Google Closure compiler is also added. Feedback welcome!
