Re: [xwiki-devs] [Vote] Deprecation of Prototype.js and the usage of JQuery as our default JS framework

wrote:

Overall I'm generally in favor of migrating away from prototype but I

know what this vote is about.

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

performance issue. If the vote were to change prototype from holding the $ global variable

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.
