[mochikit] MochiKit.Animator and sizzle branch
I was updating one of my projects which uses MochiKit and I thought to look what's new in MochiKit development. My project doesn't use visual effects, but I thought with the next version I might do some effects. I found that Karl Guertin's Animator pages weren't up. >From emailing him, I learned that he's done some upgrades to his site and hasn't carried forward the old urls at this point. I still had Karl's 0.9.2 code from a few years back, so I thought I would let people know that I've put up a repo on bitbucket in case they are looking for it. http://bitbucket.org/cleemesser/mochikit.animator/ I been having fun playing with it and the sizzle version of MochiKit.Selector from MochiKit svn, which passes the test suite in firefox, safari, and chrome. The tip has small updates, commit 4:497bced7d3c5 has the original 0.9.2 version of Animator.

[mochikit] Re: Selector speedup by using John Resig's Sizzle
Adding Sizzle sounds like a substantial plus, I noticed that your addition fixes the errors in MochiKit.Selector. Does it break any of the other (non-selector related) tests in MochiKit? -Chris p.s. I'm running firefox 3.1pre now with the JIT running, and slickspeed tests are interesting as your version of MochiKit.Selector is reported as faster than Sizzle: most of the response times are 1ms for a total time of 45ms vs 174ms for Sizzle itself. I would guess that some compiled code is being cached. MochiKit's current Selector comes in with a time of 4045ms.

[mochikit] Re: other widget toolboxes most compatbile with mochikit?
It's great to see the responses. I'd like to split the thread in two: 1. Among the existing javascript widget libraries, is there one that is most compatible with mochikit's approach? 2. It sounds like there is interest in creating a repository for mochikit widgets and/or code snippets. Do people have a preference for where it should be hosted? At mochikit.com? On sourceforge, savannah, googlecode? We could start populating the project with Jason Bunting's thick box. A google search also showed a project on sourceforge with other intreface components. (I seem to have missplaced the URL).

[mochikit] other widget toolboxes most compatbile with mochikit?
First, I want to thank Bob and the rest of the mochikit team for this great library. As a javascript neophyte, I chose Mochikit because it seemed to fit my way of thinking. I use python a great deal and mochikit with it's good documentation and clarity of organization made javascript more rational to me. Thanks to Mochikit, I was able to build an in-house ajax-type web applicaton from scratch and bring it live within a few weeks. Now I am looking to add more features and I would like to avoid spending time writing javascript widgets if it's not necessary. There are now quite a few popular widget libraries and I have looked at several of them (yui, dojo, jquery, etc.). Quite a few people have put together comparisons and reviews and I am not looking to repeat that discussion here. The question for me is how compatible the mindset of a library is with what I've done before. Some of the pythonista's like to say "Python fits my brain." Mochikit fits for me and ideally, any library that I add would do the same. I'm interested in finding out from mochikit users if they think that ne of the javascript widget libraries best fits the mochikit way of doing things. Alternatively, having a place--say on google code--with mochikit- based widgets would allow the community to gradually build up a set of mochikit-based widgets.
