I've been using MooTools for the last few years now, love it, I've only
just discovered and signed up to this group to read that MooTools will be
no more.
As an experienced developer, MooTools is perfect for the fluid interactive
user interfaces I produce. Hate it that so many developers see the UI as a
skin to the back end and resort to jQuery, I also hate seeing more and more
of new era 'front end' developers (they all seem to use jQuery as if it's
cool) who copy and past code to get things to work, it doesn't work, so
they constantly ask for help, yet still charge a full day rate. (Sorry mini
rant)
My question is, what do we do? People are saying the MooTools core will
remain supported, but will it? What are the alternatives? I have just
started a massive project and I'm at a fork in the road, do I stick with
MooTools (which I've already started the project in), or do I start using a
new more modern technology that will be supported in years to come?
Been coding for over 20 years, I'm happy to pick up new technology and run
with it, that's not a problem, but I want to know what's new that MooTools
can't offer?
Should this be a new post?
