It's not that you can't use a framework and "vanilla" js, it's that it has been shown that these candy frameworks that hide vanilla method calls to the DOM severely kill performance. ... For the sake of just entering a $() dollar sign? That's a crazy tradeoff but thousands do it everyday. For alittle dev time saved, you kill the actual applications performance.

I was just saying that using AS, you can already have a "framework" you use that is light, but the compiler would transcode it to the fastest possible js implementation, since it's now hands off.

Funniest site I've been to today. It's a good point, but it's prob pretty difficult to not use a framework at all.

Hi,

And to eliminate the 'IF' from your conditional statement, just a quick one:

Slightly off topic but amusing all the same:
http://vanilla-js.com

Reinforces the point that if you want pure performance don't use a framework and as we're generating the JS there's probably no need to use one, especially one as heavy as jQuery.
