copied!<p>I was full time java developers, now I also work on JavaScript. couple of years back when I started learning JavaScript, first library I tried was jquery like most of the people. But it made my life harder, and after sometime I started writing fairly large JavaScript app. It wasn't coming together for me using jquery. I had huge codebase without much of a structure. It was method blocks updating HTML blocks using selectors. Then I tried mootools and obliviously as a java developer it appealed to me a lot. And I was able to write managible web apps having huge code base.</p> <p>As per my understanding Mootools is not considered a preferred way to write JavaScript because it mimic conventional OO over default prototype-based OO language. So now to really understand javascript and desire of walking with the world, i decided to try other approaches, so again I turned back to jquery, and realise that only jquery is not enough. So started looking at current trending frameworks like backbone, spine, ember.js, sprouteCore. Strangly I found that these frameworks at their core tries to mimic conventional OO like mootools only by having constructors and creating a object of class and reusing this class object to create instance objects. So</p> <ul> <li>Am I missing something? </li> <li>Is mootools way really wrong? </li> <li>Mootools project is very alive and releases new versions/features, but I don't see many people talking about it on Internet, also there are no comparisions vs backbone/spine etc. </li> </ul>
