Really kind sad. But then I've noted years ago that Javascript is as broken as a system comes. Oh, as we mention it. Hello Web 1.0, in brokeness we're bound.

If it turns out that MochiKit is useful for RoR development, great, if not, oh well. It's certainly not a drop-in replacement for Prototype, so if RoR depends on that Prototype's API, then it's not going to be useful. However, it *is* an alternative to Prototype for people using JavaScript. I specifically wrote it because Prototype nor anything else I could find was good enough for us. The name is derivative of our company's.. it'll be more obvious soon! I don’t care about Ruby on Rails. If it turns out that MochiKit is useful for RoR development, great, if not, oh well.

You talking about MochiKit makes me wish I had a reason to do JavaScript hacking :D Are you going to peddle MochiKit as an alternative for Prototype and the other JavaScript libraries often used by Ruby on Rails apps, or is this intended for other uses less suitable to Ruby on Rails? I ask this because Ruby on Rails seems like a great example of an existing, very nice, very well-done web app environment that's growing in popularity and is adding more and more JavaScript coolness (like built-in AJAX support and such), and I know Prototype is pretty popular in the RoR crowd. Also, where'd the name MochiKit come from? Sounds great! You talking about MochiKit makes me wish I had a reason to do JavaScript hacking :D
