The utm JavaScript library now is going to use the John Resig’s Sizzle.
Sizzle is a lightweight, fast and pure-JavaScript element selector that uses CSS3-based queries.
Somedays ago, while I was talking to John (the creator of Sizzle and jQuery), I decided to join the Sizzle project and integrate it with utm, as other JS libraries out there are joining too.
Why? Weren’t you writing a selector engine for utm?
Yes, I was. But both utm and Sizzle are open source and the Sizzle code is really, really great. So what’s the problem in using and contributing with it, like any other good open source software? =]
We’re not here for a competition, I don’t want to prove that utm is better or not. I’m trying to make two projects grow together.
Ok. So why don’t you use jQuery?
jQuery is an awesome library, but utm has a different focus. Its objetive is not just provide Ajax features or effects, but to provide an Web Application platform – this is exactly what I’m working on.
So, if you want, join the project too and let’s make it all better. =D
