The idea that 16% of Rails users use jQuery is divorced from reality. I can devise some experiments to prove that, but I have seen no evidence in my travels of a huge amount of people using anything else. I freely agree that people use Protoype, MooTools and Dojo. The number of people who do so, in my estimation, is quite small.
Also, to be clear, people who don't write JavaScript at all but just use the Rails helpers would be unaffected by a change in defaults. I would consider them N/As rather than "prototype users" On Thursday, May 27, 2010, Jarkko Laine <[email protected]> wrote: > On 27.5.2010, at 18.11, Yehuda Katz wrote: > >> At every talk I give at a conference, I ask whether people use jQuery >> in their Rails apps.
