So-- then what are you doing on the Prototype/script.aculo.us mailing
list? :)
The sole point of Prototype is to give the programmer a powerful,
opinionated
toolset, to make programming JavaScript less pain (with some extra
special
sugar-on-the-top for Ruby devs).
I think it is very telling to hear Sam himself say that a good way to
optimize JavaScript is to minimize use of the enumerable methods. Just
before 15:00 in this podcast

It is easy to write native JavaScript versions of code written using
the Prototype.js enumerable methods. I've given a few examples. It is
obvious that the native versions are much more efficient and have
other benefits. Why not just write native from the start?
