Overall I'm generally in favor of migrating away
from prototype but I don't
know what this vote is about.
This vote is about deprecating prototype.js in favor of jQuery.
It means developing any new feature using jQuery and put all the effort we
can in migrating existing features to jQuery until the point we can vote
the removal of prototype.js, and put it aside, as an possible extension.
Will we still be including prototype in every page load? Will it still be
bound to the $ variable? If so then loading jquery for a small widget is a
performance issue.
If the vote were to change prototype from holding the $ global variable and
only load it on demand (requirejs) and refactor all of our code to deal
with
it, I'd be in favor of this even though it will break backward compat for
the
user. If we're not willing to (ever) break backward compat then talking
about
jquery is silly, we're a prototype shop, that's just our fate.
This vote looks like a sort of non-binding resolution in favor of jquery
and
disfavor of prototype so for that I'll give a non-binding +1.
Thanks,
Caleb

+1 (both
the vote and Marius' suggestions)
But we also need to decide on an OOP framework
for jQuery, if we still
want to write OOP widgets instead of some raw function hell.
+1, otherwise it will be harder to migrate the current object oriented
code written in Prototype.js .
Thanks,
Marius

I would add that we should use it with require.js
and that we should
make sure the jQuery plugins we pick integrate with require.js
Thanks,
Marius
