[Catalyst] Which JS framework to use?

[Richard Thomas]

My experience with mootools is quite limited - and I certainly don't want to start Palestine for Geeks by arguing javascript frameworks on the Catalyst framework list! - but I did intend to make the point previously that much of the syntax of jQuery will feel familiar to anyone with a perl background. This sort of thing:

$('.someclass', '#insomeID').each(function(index){
	// do something with each matched object
});

as well as functions like $.map() and $.grep() that behave just like their perl counterparts.

cheers
